There Goes the Fear Again – Doves

Out of here
We're out of here
Out of heartache
Along with fear
There goes the fear again
There goes the fear

And cars speed fast
Out of here
And life goes past
Again so near
There goes the fear again
There goes the fear

Close your brown eyes
And lay down next to me
Close your eyes, lay down
'Cos there goes the fear
Let it go

You turn around and life's passed you by
You look to ones you love to ask them why
You look to those you love to justify
You turned around and life's passed you by
Passed you by again

And late last night
Makes up her mind
Another fight
left behind
There goes the fear again
Let it go
There goes the fear

Close your brown eyes
And lay down next to me
Close your eyes, lay down
'Cos there goes the fear
Let it go

You turn around and life's passed you by
You look to ones you love to ask them why
you look to those you love to justify, why
you turned around and life's passed you by

Think of me when you're coming down
But don't look back when leaving town
Oh think of me when he's calling out
But don't look back when leaving town
Think of me when you close your eyes
But don't look back when you break all ties
Think of me when you're coming down
But don't look back when leaving town today

There goes the fear again
Let it go
There goes the fear
Let it go

Think of me when you close your eyes
But don't look back when you break all ties
Think of me when you're coming down
But don't look back when leaving town today

Georgia panicked when her sister moved to California to attend UCLA and had a minor breakdown when her mother followed. It was a year later, and Rube could read the signs of her distress however miniscule they seemed. He headed straight to her hideout. She rested on her back in the grass, staring up at the winter constellations in her old backyard. With a sigh, he settled in next to her.

She grabbed his hand and turned to look at him, "Did life passing you by ever freak you the fuck out?"

"Sometimes it still does. Close your eyes, Peanut. The world'll wait until you're ready."

She did. Her hand squeezed his, painfully, then it relaxed.
