Loose Leaves - Bright Eyes[00:00:00]
The story is in the soil[00:00:17]
Loose leaves cover the ground[00:00:19]
There are volumes in the forest no one reads out loud[00:00:21]
If I could take them down off of that mountain shelf[00:00:24]
We used to climb but no one tries to go up that far now[00:00:28]
Yeah we're all too busy working entertaining ourselves[00:00:31]
40 hours television and prescription pills[00:00:35]
Well I take two a day to make my brain behave[00:00:39]
It never does but who is to say at least my doctor gets paid[00:00:42]
So that's fine yeah come by we will take the afternoon off[00:00:46]
We can kiss and undress or if you want just talk[00:00:50]
Because I have got nothing real just empty space to fill[00:00:53]
And you are my girl I like your style[00:00:57]
Just imagine all the time we could kill[00:00:59]
And time's not poison but once you drink it all you'll die[00:01:06]
So lets just sip it real slow yeah we can nurse it all night[00:01:12]
Try to believe that once its gone they will pour another round[00:01:16]
And come back to life[00:01:19]
Come back[00:01:27]
Well it's all moving faster now yeah and that's what they said[00:01:35]
And though some days still take forever I can't disagree[00:01:38]
Because it seems to me that I wake up and sleep[00:01:42]
Look in the mirror have no idea what happened in between[00:01:45]
But I remember counting days down until the year could be done[00:01:48]
So I could scatter all my notebooks on the prep school lawn[00:01:53]
And disappear again into a summer's bliss of staying out[00:01:57]
And sleeping in and getting drunk with my friends[00:02:01]
Now that's gone and I know that it won't ever come back[00:02:04]
I accept[00:02:08]
I won't cling to what I had in the past but life's a slippery slope[00:02:09]
Regret is the steepest hill[00:02:13]
Hope for the best[00:02:15]
Plan for the worst and maybe wind up somewhere in the middle[00:02:16]
And I'm not saying that I know what I want[00:02:24]
But I know what I don't don't want to rot in my room[00:02:31]
And never know what could have been[00:02:34]
Believe what everyone else tells me is true[00:02:36]
They will say true[00:02:41]
(Yeah they say its true) yeah they say true[00:02:45]
(They say yeah they say they say) yeah they say true[00:02:54]
(That's what they say that's it)[00:03:04]
