'Time? Why? Explain' by Sandtimer, out July 27th on Lost Forest Records

Title quoted from This American Life 617: Fermi's Paradox (www.thisamericanlife.org/617/transcript) with permission from Matt Salyer.

lyrics

It's that sudden moment when you're swimming out from the beach.
You feel the current turning- it's pulling you out of reach.
You've been splashing around, looking at all the life,
but now you're flailing, borne out on the tide.

And it's a cold, cold day when it happens
but there is one long life leading on from this moment.

There in the photograph the people are all smiling-
were they really such good times or was it just good timing?
Sometimes I wonder where the photos are of me,
a summer's day in the cool shade of a forest full of conifer trees

And it's a cold, cold day when it happens
but there is one long life leading on from this moment.

Stand tall in the moonlight, stagger through the day.
There's no glamour in summertime- the fields are just too far away.
You may feel like you're on borrowed time but all they do is steal.
You may feel caught in the headlights but they're asleep at the wheel.

And it's a cold, cold day when it happens
but there is one long life leading on from this moment.
