lyrics

I've not been looking nor seeking or yearning, no
I've not been listing or keeping a count of the days
That you've been away
Because times seem longer
Each room is quieter
I can see the future and it's getting harder
And with this reveal, I elect to step hard on the brakes

If love is the destination, why is the journey so long?
OK, the destination is love but the time does not go on and on and on
We are clearly running out of road
Wipers weeping for the love adjacent
Thinking this passenger can't be consoled
With glovebox tissues and my night vision say-so
That claims, love's been arranged to reach this stage

I've not been looking nor seeking or yearning, no
I've not been listing or learning
Or keeping account of the time that I've been ignored
The times seem shorter
Each scene is darker
I can live with this future even if it's lacking drama
And with this release, why would I choose to step on the brakes?

O, because love is the destination
And the journey is long
The destination is love
And it's true, the time does not go on and on and on
We know we are running out of road
Foglights illuminate the space pre-hedgerow
For us passengers who can still be consoled
With habitual kisses and the songs of old
That tell them the love's been changed to reach this stage
The love's been changed to reach this stage

Making questionable progress from the low-skilled, no-fidelity, no wave of their earliest cassettes to the largely futile primitive avant bubblegum of today, releasing ten collections to date on a trail of defunct labels and media. ... more
