Finally what you came for
Finally what you hoped to find
Racing home from her house
Looking out for black and white
Dark days in the summer
A million ways to tow the line
Can't wait holy other
Might as well be the seventh son
This is from the song 'Dark Days' by 'Local Natives'.
What do the line in italics mean? I tried Googling for the meaning but couldn't find it.

Welcome to EL&U. Lyrics don't necessarily mean anything; sometimes the words tell a story, but at other times they are simply chosen because they sound interesting, or go with the beat a certain way, or evoke certain emotional responses, and so on. Lyricists, like poets, are granted considerable poetic license. As such, what lyrics "mean" is a matter of opinion and interpretation, for which sites like Genius.com, Songmeanings.com, and so on are better-suited.
