[Chorus: Brian Aubert] It's no wonder that we did it this way Kept looking forwards on paths sideways It's everything that is connected and beautiful And now I know just where I stand Move on Roll along Not today It's everything that is connected and beautiful And now I know just where I stand Thank god your heart is too close
[Chorus: Brian Aubert] Well someone said I made a mistake Kept looking forwards on paths sideways It's everything that is connected and beautiful And now I know just where I stand Well seasons always shift too late Spent too much time now on paths sideways Everything that is connected and beautiful And now I know just where I stand Thank god it's over

According to Brian Aubert, “Kissing Families” was one the first tracks Silversun Pickups recorded (on a shoddy cassette tape no less) when the band was barely on the brink of being conceived. Another track on that demo tape was an early version of what eventually became “Lazy Eye”.
Tanya Haden, a fellow member of the Silverlake music scene, contributed her cello skills to the track.
