Lyrics The Year Of Driving Languorously - The Lucksmiths

The Year Of Driving Languorously

Darling roll the window down
I can’t breathe
And I want to feel the northerly down my sleeve
I love a sunburnt elbow pointing to the sea
And, darling, can’t you find us something on the radio?
A song to pass the time
Sweet and slow
Conversation was forsaken long ago
It’s getting worse
You’ve hardly said a word
Since you set eyes on the horizon
But I’ve seen the other side of that ocean there
And it can’t compare
Has it really been a year?
How did those days just disappear?
We held our breath across each bridge
Til we were blue
But I wonder if I wished the same as you
Like a ten-year-old pretending
Summer isn’t really ending
It’s getting worse
You’ve hardly said a word
Since you set eyes on the horizon
But I’ve seen the other side of that ocean there
And it can’t compare to this
So I’ll steal another kiss
Before the sun goes down on this fibrotown
And we give chase
Like all those other days
I suppose it’s no surprise
We drive, time flies
Has it really been a year?
Where the hell do we go from here?
