Racing Towards The New Lyrics - Bright Eyes

Just forget what you cannot replace 

This sweet day is almost weightless and new 

So I talk but no one can relate 

To the fear I had when I was younger 

Somehow I knew I'd end up empty and alone 

We all accept in the same tired way 

The gentle shift of continuous change 

We confuse all the things that we say to ourselves 

To the things we say to each other, it's always a lie 

But at least we find some comfort for awhile 

So we'll start where the others left off 

Get in our cars and embrace something new 

To escape you will always get caught 

In the fear that what you had before was better 

And you will become sick with the dream of going back 

To the old
