All Night Sedans
Eternal Nights and Midnight Reflections
Lyrics
You was up to something
You were engaged in something
I was up to nothing
I was not actively involved in anything
It was bound to happen that way
It was destined to happen in that manner
Rain in the streetlights
Rain is illuminated by streetlights
You in the midnight
You are present in the middle of the night
We could've had it any day
We could have achieved something on any day
A fire was raging down at the station
A fire was happening at the station
It was not ours to worry about he said
We shouldn't be concerned about it, someone said
No truth at all
No truth in the situation
Babe I should've made the call
I should have made a call, a small favor is not helpful
Half a favor's no favor at all
Doing half a favor is not beneficial at all
Wish it could've been another way, ohh
Expressing a desire for an alternative outcome
Wish it could've been another way, ohh
Reiterating the wish for a different outcome
You're sharp, you're clear, you're there and you're near
Describing someone as sharp, clear, present, and close
But you're too close for me to see
But the proximity hinders clear perception
The way that it was, not despite but because
Reflecting on the past not in spite of difficulties but because of them
Will live in eternity
Emphasizing that the past will endure
Go tell Celeste, who loved you the best
Informing someone named Celeste about the rain and loss
There's rains falling in the street
Describing rain falling in the street
Florescent lights pounding in the neighborhood store
Describing fluorescent lights in a neighborhood store
Little bell rang when you came in the door
Noting a bell ringing when someone entered
Wish it could've been another way, ohh
Expressing a wish for a different outcome
Wish it could've been another way, ohh
Reiterating the wish for an alternative scenario
Now I'm driving all night sedans
Currently driving sedans throughout the night
All the things I should've done
Regretting not doing certain things
Babe well, I do what I can
Doing one's best in the given situation
Listening to the radio
Engaged in listening to the radio
As it plays on in my mind
The radio plays in the mind
How easily I lose the time
Reflecting on how time is easily lost
Wish it could've been another way, oh
Expressing a wish for an alternate outcome
Wish it could've been another way, oh
Reiterating the desire for a different outcome
Wish it could've been another way, oh
Continuing to express a wish for an alternative scenario
Wish it could've been another way, oh
Repeating the desire for a different outcome
All night sedans, all night sedans
Repetition of the theme of driving all night sedans
All night sedans, all night sedans
Repeating the idea of all night sedans
