Lyrics.

“Joey Ryan - Broken Headlights”

it hasn’t rained hard for the better part of seven months everyone’s listening
all I see ahead of me are glistening lights the city stays up at night
drumming along like a dissonant song by an amateur symphony
how come I can only tell you I love you when you’re sleeping in the passenger seat

and all the fast cars with the broken headlights run the red lights in the canyon
and I can taste it
the rain is coming to clear the air over Los Angelos

maybe it’ll bring the hillside down
maybe it’ll flood the streets
maybe when I tell you that I want you forever I’m gonna make a fool of me
but I’ve got the windows down the heater on my feet and the skies are opening
it’s gonna come pouring down it’s gonna come pouring out I’m gonna say everything

and all the fast cars with the broken headlights run the red lights in the canyonsand I can taste it
the rain is coming to clear the air over Los Angelos

the road is winding and it’s barely lit
you never know how far you really gonna get
but when you live here you just learn to get used to it

and all the fast cars with the broken headlights running red lights in the canyon
but it’s raining
the haze is drowning the air is clear over Los Angelos

“What does it mean to go to school at a place where you’re never alone?” - Also from the article mentioned from the previous post.

Never alone? You can be at a party, 40 people smiling and eating around you and be alone. You can be sleeping with ten people breathing next to you and be alone. Alone isn’t just physical; alone is a mental state. Alone can mean loneliness or simply solitude, quiet and restful, or tormented by the whirling dervishes that infest your mind.

If there’s so much time spent schooling that you cannot think, then you cannot think enough to know whether you’re alone. But I’ve yet to see students who don’t crack, who don’t doubt. It’s that quiet moment before e answers your question, in a flutter of a heartbeat and a flicker of confusion, and then you know they’ve been alone.

It’s easy to talk about whatever it is you do all day.

And it’s hard not to.
