lyrics

A bright and slightly cloudy day, perfect for a ride
Hopped on my motorcycle and hit the countryside
About four miles down the road's and intersection hill and curve
Where I let off the gas and lean into the turn
But as I approached the crest of this familiar hill
An old man turned in front of me and time nearly stood still

Now the way I look at this, ain't the way I look at that
No matter what happens next, next may never last
Oh take a look at this, take a look at that
No matter what happens soon, soon will soon be in the past

In the blink of an eye, his car just feet ahead
I could hear my heart beating in my head
And I could see him panic as I hit my brakes to slow
A woman in a van behind him there's nowhere to go
I had only one choice, not by me but decided
Must let go of the brake, swerve beside the van and behind him

Now the way I look at this, ain't the way I look at that
No matter what happens next, next may never last
Oh take a look at this, take a look at that
No matter what happens soon, soon will soon be in the past

Oh I know I'm moving fast but time is moving slow
Again my options through my head but still nowhere to go
And he's committed at this point as I begin to swerve
My windows getting bigger but I'm running out of nerve
With just inches to spare on either side of me
I looked into the van and I could see her eyes were green
And I could see a fear in her I could not see in me
When I took my eyes off hers, time was back to speed

Now the way I look at this ain't the way I look at that
No matter what happens next, next may never last
Oh take a look at this, take a look at that
No matter what happens soon, soon will soon be in the past
