Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
On the way home
This car hears my confessions
I think tonight I'll take the long way
In this weather
The wind outside is biting
It's left me feeling tired and exposed
You've been asking me to bleed
It seems these kinds of questions
Come too easy to you now
Your lack of shame comes naturally
I should not be surprised
I should have seen it sooner
Expect me to apologize
For things that you've done wrong
While you're inciting others
You're owning up to nothing
And I wish that I was gone
'Cause you're not going anywhere
And this damp air
It's fighting my defroster
My sighs, they ring victorious and fog this tinted glass
And it's clouded
And so is my head
The hint of these new tears are sharp
I try to choke them back
But it's useless
I'm useless against them
They are beating me with ease
On the way home
This car hears my confessions
I think tonight I'll take the long way
Expect me to apologize
For things that you've done wrong
While you're inciting others
You're owning up to nothing
And I wish that I was gone
'Cause you're not going anywhere
On the way home
This car hears my confessions
I think tonight I'll take the long way
This car hears my confessions
I think tonight I'll take the long way
In this weather
The wind outside is biting
It's left me feeling tired and exposed
You've been asking me to bleed
It seems these kinds of questions
Come too easy to you now
Your lack of shame comes naturally
I should not be surprised
I should have seen it sooner
Expect me to apologize
For things that you've done wrong
While you're inciting others
You're owning up to nothing
And I wish that I was gone
'Cause you're not going anywhere
And this damp air
It's fighting my defroster
My sighs, they ring victorious and fog this tinted glass
And it's clouded
And so is my head
The hint of these new tears are sharp
I try to choke them back
But it's useless
I'm useless against them
They are beating me with ease
On the way home
This car hears my confessions
I think tonight I'll take the long way
Expect me to apologize
For things that you've done wrong
While you're inciting others
You're owning up to nothing
And I wish that I was gone
'Cause you're not going anywhere
On the way home
This car hears my confessions
I think tonight I'll take the long way

He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
