Long Exposure

You caught me on a long exposure

You saw the carvings on the trees

You caught me looking somewhat older

Are the odds stacked against me?

You found me acting pretty sober

You said “You’re looking very well”

One day this evening will be over

Then, it’s back into my shell



“Breathe slow, this too shall pass.”

And anyone will say the same things

If you’d just ask



Now everybody’s in a panic

They said “The cops are on their way!”

They say I’m acting quite erratic

“Could you step over this way?”

I heard the radio to static

He said “You’re shaking pretty hard”

He’s acting nicer than expected

Now get back into your car



“Breathe slow, this too shall pass.”

And anyone will say the same things

If you’d just ask



“Breathe slow, this too shall pass.”

And anyone will say the same things

If you’d just ask



(Breathe slow…)

You caught me on a long exposure

(I tried to warn the end was coming...)

You said “You’re looking very well.”

(Soft shell...)

I’m still not feeling any closure

(Has anybody here seen my car lately?)

Can you tell?
