Lyrics:

Traffic so bad I've become
Well acquainted with the freeway's scatterplot of gum
And clouds at sunset like great, shining, purple, golden mountains exploding in slow motion
For cardboard cutout people standing on the overpass
Just to try and catch a glimpse of something beautiful while it lasts

And I don't need to hear that this shouldn't make me sad
Because I know that
But I can't seem to handle these verdant towns of suburban Connecticut
On my way back

Back to Boston
I had a sense of what I meant to write but lost it
As I got closer to my home state line
The road was open for the first time in a hundred and fifty miles of wasted time

And I don't need to hear that this shouldn't make me mad
Because I know that
But I can't seem to handle these double standards from all you modern hypocrites
Who don't react

I did my best to think back to the BQE
Where the city skyline bathed in exhaust fumes never really bothered me
I played the album that James Mercer made before he was in The Shins
And thought about how there's no poetry in the places that I've been

And I don't need to hear that this train of thought is a fad
Because I know that
But I can't seem to handle this urge to qualify with all these double negatives
That hold me back

And so here's a promise to try and learn from my past
Because I know that
There's no shape to progress if you are only thinking pseudo-critically
And not in fact
