Bright Eyes - Loose Leaves Lyrics
there are stories in the soil, loose leaves cover the groundthere's volumes in the forest, no one reads out loudif i could take them down off of that mountain shelfwe used to climb but no one tries to go up that far now yeahwe're all too busy working, entertaining ourselvesforty hours television and prescription pillswell i take two a day to make my brain behaveit never does but who's to say at least my doctor gets paidso that's fine, yeah come by we'll take the afternoon offwe can kiss and undress or if you want just talkcause i've got nothing real, just empty space to filland you're my girl i like your style just imagine all the time we could killand time's not poison but once you drink it all you'll dieso let's just sip it real slowyeah we can nurse it all nighttry to believe that once it's gonewe'll pour another round and come back to lifecome right backi guess i'm moving faster now or that's what they saidand though some days still take forever i can't disagreebecause it seems to me that i wake up and sleeplook in the mirror have no idea what happened in betweenbut i remember counting days down 'til the year could be doneso i could scatter all my notebooks on the prep school lawnand disappear again into a summer's blissof staying out sleeping in and getting drunk with my friendsthat's gone and i know that it won't ever come backi accept i won't cling to what i had in the pastbut life's a slippery slope, regret's the steepest hillhope for the best, plan for the worst and maybe wind up somewherein the middleand i'm not saying that i know what i wantbut i know what i don't,
