about

Words and Music by Dan Sonenberg.

lyrics

Old man in a rainstorm
Driving alone in the hollowest part of the night
Doesn't notice the weather
Doesn't notice the water
Doesn't notice the light

Thinking of choices he made
When he was young and hopelessly committed
Always being afraid
Never seeing the world for who was in it

{chorus}
Older and wiser
Faster and faster
All my plans lead to change and disaster
Old is better
When it comes to forgetting
When it comes to accepting
The package you're getting

And he thinks of a woman he knew
In the corners of days half a lifetime ago
How she laughed and caressed him with effortless style
How she wanted him so

Thinking of what might have been
If he was bold and made a tough decision
Instead of thinking of sin
Fearing voices of judgment and derision

{chorus}

{bridge}
Older and older
Colder and colder
And you never thought
It wouldn't last
Or that there'd be no second pass

In the dark of the night
In the cold of the car
He is lost to the signals and pushes his foot to the floor
And the whir of the wind
And the scream of the motor
Make for a mesmerizing roar

Thinking about it again
Like he has a thousand nights before
And then it comes to an end
All regret fades away
It don't matter no more

{chorus}

{outro}
na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na na {etc.}
