Lyrics of 'When the Crash Happened' by Tub Ring

If it was a Tuesday I would be a rich man
But I was so enticed by the air that moves around them.
Another man, another woman smoking
All their toys are left alone and broken
It didn't have to end it didn't have to clean me out
But this is what the year was all about.
There's a piece of, there's a piece of
The better parts of me in all of this stuff

And I know there's so much more to life
And time is fleeting but it doesn't change a thing
And I still want so much more
What else is all this for?
So I'll await the things that should be coming to me.
You can give the orders, you can be the captain
But I was in the vehicle when the crash happened
I didn't think of it 'til the lights were flashing,
But I was in the front seat when the car was crashing
It could be avoided and it doesn't change the fact
That I was well aware of this as we made impact
You give the orders, you are the captain
But I was in the vehicle when the crash happened
I was in there when it happened
It was abrupt but I saw it first
I was in there when it happened
And I was hoping for so much worse

I had a bunch to say but lets be realistic
A book about yourself is a tad narcissistic.
I think it's good a healthy obsession
Whoa , so healthy.
Calculate the value of the things you have acquired
You're not impressing me cause you're preaching to the choir.
You've given up, you've left it all to fate.
Now just wait a God damn second here…wait!

And I know there's so much more to life
And time is fleeting but it doesn't change a thing
And I still want so much more
What else is all this for?
So I'll await the things that should be coming to me.
You can give the orders, you can be the captain
But I was in the vehicle when the crash happened
I didn't think of it 'til the lights were flashing,
But I was in the front seat when the car was crashing
It could avoided and it doesn't change the fact
That I was well aware of this as we made impact
You give the orders, you are the captain
But I was in the vehicle when the crash happened
I was in there when it happened
It was abrupt but I saw it first
I was in there when it happened
And I was hoping for so much worse

I was in there when it happened
It was abrupt but I saw it first
I was in there when it happened
And I was hoping for so much worse
