Phil's Song (Learn to Stop Time) - Conor Oberst The Mystic Valley Band[00:00:00]
Well there's a lady I know down in acapulco[00:00:17]
Has a house up high on a hill[00:00:19]
Don't bother bringing medicine[00:00:21]
Her smile is your pill[00:00:24]
There's a beach down the street just 100 feet[00:00:27]
Going to stick my toes in the sand[00:00:30]
There's a couple so old they're taking a stroll[00:00:32]
But they're still holding hands[00:00:35]
If there's a secret they have well I'd like to know[00:00:38]
They could whisper it right in my ear[00:00:41]
They said open your eyes because you're living blind[00:00:43]
And know love is greater than fear[00:00:45]
Because I've been up and I've been down[00:00:49]
No I've been around and around[00:00:54]
Well there's a girl I see when I go back out east[00:00:58]
She let's me sleep in her bed[00:01:01]
In the morning we talk about everything[00:01:04]
What she learned from the books she's read[00:01:06]
There's a store on the corner that sells anything[00:01:10]
A simple man might need[00:01:12]
Cigarettes and coffee[00:01:15]
Lotto tickets just to dream[00:01:17]
There's a park on the way where I like to go[00:01:21]
Just to sit and watch the folks[00:01:23]
Kids playing ball[00:01:26]
Their mamas on the phone[00:01:28]
Because I've been here and I've been there[00:01:31]
With you I feel safe and I feel scared[00:01:36]
But if I could learn to stop time[00:01:41]
Don't you know I would[00:01:45]
How sweet it would be[00:01:47]
Only if I could[00:01:50]
There's a friend I have she up and packed her bag[00:02:07]
And headed way up north[00:02:09]
Turned her back on everything she knew[00:02:12]
To brainwash some new foolish fool[00:02:14]
If I had to guess he ain't much different than me[00:02:17]
Pretty smart but fairly dumb[00:02:20]
Fall in line behind a pretty smile[00:02:23]
And a phony selfish charm[00:02:25]
But the past is the past and I don't look back[00:02:29]
But sometimes she'll call my phone[00:02:31]
Open the wound just to rub some salt[00:02:34]
She's a miserable person but it ain't her fault[00:02:36]
Because I've been here and I've been there[00:02:39]
But with you I feel safe and I feel scared[00:02:44]
I've been up and I've been down[00:02:49]
No I've been around and around[00:02:54]
But if I could learn to stop time[00:02:59]
Don't you know I would[00:03:03]
How sweet it would be[00:03:05]
Only if I could[00:03:08]
