Song information
Artist: Bright Eyes Album: There Is No Beginning To The Story
Lyrics
The story is in the soil Loose leaves cover the ground There are volumes in the forest no one reads out loud If I could take them down off of that mountain shelf...we used to climb but no one tries to go up that far now Yeah, we're all too busy working, entertaining ourselves, 40 hours, television and prescription pills Well, I take two a day to make my brain behave It never does but who is to say, at least my doctor gets paid So that's fine, yeah come by, we will take the afternoon off We can kiss and undress or if you want just talk Because I have got nothing real, just empty space to fill And you are my girl, I like your style, just imagine all the time we could kill
And time's not poison but once you drink it all you'll die So lets just sip it real slow, yeah, we can nurse it all night Try to believe that once its gone they will pour another round And come back to life We'll come right back
Well, it's all moving faster now, yeah, and that's what they said And though some days still take forever I can't disagree Because it seems to me that I wake up and sleep, look in the mirror have no idea what happened in between But I remember counting days down until the year could be done So I could scatter all my notebooks on the prep school lawn And disappear again into a summer's bliss of staying out and sleeping in and getting drunk with my friends Now that's gone and I know that it won't ever come back I accept I won't cling to what I had in the past but life's a slippery slope Regret is the steepest hill Hope for the best Plan for the worst and maybe wind up somewhere in the middle And I'm not saying that I know what I want But I know what I don't, don't want to rot in my room and never know what could have been, believe what everyone else tells me is true
They will say 'true' (Yeah, they say its true!) Yeah they say 'true' (They say, yeah they say, they say Yeah they say 'true') (That's what they say That's it)
