Hello Hindsight

Strands of dandelion light
Needle through the dust clouds
Mining what's mine in underground suburban caves
Wearing new holes
In my old favorite t-shirt
A patchwork story composed of empty spaces

Strange to see my whole life
Boxed in the backseat
It towers like a city made of everything I own
Navigate the twilight
Faded maps and street signs
Nothing gold can stay here everything goes

I laid out
Every sentimental piece I held onto
It sent me tumbling
Backwards and blue

Caravans at first light
Dotted lines and dashboards
Sending transmissions out along the open road
Aching toward the east coast
Burdened by the whole load
My head is in the basement, my heart is in my throat

I laid out
Every sentimental piece I held onto
It sent me tumbling
Backwards and blue
Hello hindsight
Show me something new
Wait until the haze clears
Nothing gold can stay here
Everything goes

Dive into a past life
Frozen in a freefall
Calculate the outcome a thousand different ways

I laid out
Every sentimental piece I held onto
It sent me tumbling
Backwards and blue
Hello hindsight
Take me someplace new
Wait until the haze clears
Nothing gold can stay here
No, nothing gold can stay here
Everything goes
