Caught Up in the Past Songtext
von Jeff Tweedy

Ace Hotel, Los Angeles
Rooftop party sounds drifting down into my bed
I hear people in love with a love that just can′t last
No one stands a chance getting caught up in the past

I get so far behind, I forget I'm following
That′s the kind of sad I wallow in
I'm the last in line, and the line's moving fast
No one stands a chance getting caught up in the past

There′s no crown on my head
Golden light instead
In the corner of my eye
You′re still alive


Pull down the gate, turn out the lights
I'm a rising sun that only rolls in at night
There′s a fading flag I keep flying half-mast
But no one stands a chance getting caught up in the past

There's no crown on my head
Golden light instead
In the corner of my eye
You′re still alive

Ace Hotel, Los Angeles
Rooftop party sounds drifting down into my bed
I hear people in love with a love that just can't last
No one stands a chance getting caught up in the past

Oh, it′s a race against time, but you're never gonna be that fast
'Cause no one stands a chance getting caught up in the past
No one stands a chance getting caught up in the past
