Matt Pond Pa East Coast E Lyrics

East Coast E Lyrics

It stopped raining against the windows

in the late days before July

We used our bodies against our reason

As we threw ourselves from in to outside



Through the glass we'd pass the graveyards

The speed was part of killing our time

Our mouths were moving, suggesting promise

Smartly promise can change into lies



Caught in a car you weren't driving

Wondered where they'd let you off

Before the impact you smiled

Before the impact you said, "What a great summer night"



You were looking at your fingers

You were counting for control

I'd never heard so much quiet

I'd never heard so little breath or so few of your words



Ahead of safety we'd gone much farther

Faster the trees blurred the lines

The last few moments the seconds slowed up

As the tires pointed at the sky



Caught in a car, you weren't driving

Wondered where they'd let you off

Before the impact you smiled

Before the impact you said, "What a great summer night"



Extras, get on the set
