From the recording There's Time Between the Bridge and the Water
About The Song…
♪ This one came to me while working for Collectables Records. The whole thing came in less than a half-hour. Modestly, I like how raw and energetic the recording came out. I’m happy to report that this is our first song to be featured in a movie: “Rubbernecking (aka Accidents Don’t Happen)”. This one was almost completely cut live. Perhaps our grittiest song.

Lyrics
Left the house in plenty of time, but now I’m stuck
Thought I’d understand life by now, wheels in a rut
Followed the signs to avoid the lines - got a road blocked mind
Take another road or exit, see what’s further down the line
I’m caught in traffic (traffic!)
No music on the radio
Getting static (static!)
Emotions going crazy
Caught in traffic (traffic!)
I’m getting nowhere fast
I’m caught in traffic (traffic!)
Cars overheating
I’m caught in traffic (traffic)
Traffic jammed in my mind
Traffic jammed in my heart
Traffic jammed in front of me
Traffic all the time
This too shall pass but no, no, no, no, not fast enough
I’m running out of gas, my memories won’t rust
Things happen for a reason; in this season I’m needin’
To accelerate past the point of where I’ve been
[REFRAIN]
Love (love...), how could you do this to me (do this to me...)
another time around (around…)
Oh, life (oh, life…), how could you do this to me (do this to me...)
when you lead me down this road (road...)
