Bright Eyes - Racing Towards The New lyrics

Just forget what you cannot replace

This sweet day is almost weightless and new

So I talk but no one can relate

To the fear I had when I was younger

Somehow I knew I'd end up empty and alone

We all accept in the same tired way

The gentle shift of continuous change

We confuse all the things that we say to ourselves

To the things we say to each other, it's always a lie

But at least we find some comfort for awhile

So we'll start where the others left off

Get in our cars and embrace something new

To escape you will always get caught

In the fear that what you had before was better

And you will become sick with the dream of going back

To the old
