Navigating Life's Crossroads: A Journey through Delaware Water Gap
Lyrics
You always said that there's a better way
You consistently mentioned the existence of a preferable method or approach.
Nestled between two great lakes
Situated between two significant lakes.
Like the steering wheel rests on the saddle of your thumb

When you were driving over
During a journey, possibly metaphorical, when things seemed to be falling apart.
When the world felt come undone
When the world felt chaotic or disordered.
And you dropped your fix between the seats of the car
Refers to losing something important (fix) between the car seats.
Never to be seen again
The lost item remains unrecoverable.
We tore that car apart
Attempts were made to search thoroughly through the car.
I was hoping we might just get caught

It's criminal. It's how your mind works

Like you're weaving gossamer threads

Round' a single pain of beveled glass
Around a single piece of beveled glass, perhaps symbolizing a focused and particular viewpoint.
And once again, you're on my doorstep
Someone returns to the speaker's doorstep, emotionally distressed.
Crying into the wind
Crying in the face of adversity or challenge.
Begging you to let me in

How does that song on the radio know what's wrong?

I just want to forget this year
An earnest wish to erase or move beyond the difficulties of the year.
It's liminal. How short our lives are
Describing life as transitional or on the threshold, highlighting its brevity.
Like we're pressed against the veil
Feeling constrained or pressed against a barrier, seeking salvation or relief.

And once again. I contemplate
The act of considering or reflecting, possibly on life choices.
Some long for the road

Some long for their driveways
