I Watched You Taking Off - Bright Eyes[00:00:00]
Meaning is sometimes hard to spot[00:00:25]
It begins with the flickering of cigarettes[00:00:32]
In the darkness of a dorm room[00:00:39]
Somewhere in the suffocated mid-west[00:00:43]
But if this is real then i was mistaken[00:00:54]
And if there is truth then why can't we find it [00:01:02]
Beauty comes to those who have been waiting for something lie[00:01:09]
Is bigger than themselves[00:01:19]
This is the sound of the hopeless kids[00:01:25]
As they scream from the basements of the houses of their parents[00:01:31]
And this is the sound of the hopeless ones[00:01:39]
As they stare down at their books[00:01:46]
And realize they have been lied to[00:01:50]
But if this is real then i was mistaken[00:01:54]
And the vision is gone and I was not where[00:02:02]
Consistency like that which i have craved[00:02:09]
Is that people change so unexpectedly[00:02:17]
And realization finds you in a drunken airport[00:02:24]
Some planes depart and others never arrived[00:02:32]
So with this in mind i don't plan on waiting[00:02:39]
If its time to leave and break these old ties[00:02:46]
Without something else this vision is fading[00:02:54]
But until its gone the pain will make us try will make us try[00:03:02]
But this is the hope[00:03:09]
I have been searching for[00:03:12]
As the wings catch the sunlight of this cold Nebraska skyline[00:03:16]
This is the dream i am dying in[00:03:24]
I will wake to find tomorrow[00:03:31]
Be content without perfection[00:03:34]
But if this is real then i was mistaken[00:03:39]
And if the vision is gone then i was not aware[00:03:46]
