Reinvent The Wheel lyrics

Song information

Artist: Bright Eyes
Album: Four Winds

Lyrics

My friend you were a model, a priceless work of art
Boys would fashion their emotions to the pattern of you heart
And I heard you wrote that record for a girl you loved that died
I'm her sewing mine together, just hoping you're alive
And I know you'll never come back now to the world where people are
'Cause you never understood what they loved you for
Now ghosts they have their secrets, and they'll tell them to a few
So you can never pay attention, when they're whispering to you
There were many talents you possessed that I wished myself to have
But the way your eyes would gloss over, well I never envied that
And I doubt you'll ever come back now from wherever it is you are
'Cause you never understood what we loved you for
I'm sure the t.v. sets will tell us when someone reinvents the wheel
Till then I'll have a million conversations about shit that isn't real
But I'll try to breathe in meaning dig deep through every gasp of air
Cause I know you did the same thing for as long as you can bear
I guess everything just circles 'round to where it was before
So I hope I'll see you soon in some other form
