《Loose Leaves》歌词

[00:00:00] Loose Leaves - Bright Eyes

[00:00:17] The story is in the soil

[00:00:19] Loose leaves cover the ground

[00:00:21] There are volumes in the forest no one reads out loud

[00:00:24] If I could take them down off of that mountain shelf

[00:00:28] We used to climb but no one tries to go up that far now

[00:00:31] Yeah we're all too busy working entertaining ourselves

[00:00:35] 40 hours television and prescription pills

[00:00:39] Well I take two a day to make my brain behave

[00:00:42] It never does but who is to say at least my doctor gets paid

[00:00:46] So that's fine yeah come by we will take the afternoon off

[00:00:50] We can kiss and undress or if you want just talk

[00:00:53] Because I have got nothing real just empty space to fill

[00:00:57] And you are my girl I like your style

[00:00:59] Just imagine all the time we could kill

[00:01:06] And time's not poison but once you drink it all you'll die

[00:01:12] So lets just sip it real slow yeah we can nurse it all night

[00:01:16] Try to believe that once its gone they will pour another round

[00:01:19] And come back to life

[00:01:27] Come back

[00:01:35] Well it's all moving faster now yeah and that's what they said

[00:01:38] And though some days still take forever I can't disagree

[00:01:42] Because it seems to me that I wake up and sleep

[00:01:45] Look in the mirror have no idea what happened in between

[00:01:48] But I remember counting days down until the year could be done

[00:01:53] So I could scatter all my notebooks on the prep school lawn

[00:01:57] And disappear again into a summer's bliss of staying out

[00:02:01] And sleeping in and getting drunk with my friends

[00:02:04] Now that's gone and I know that it won't ever come back

[00:02:08] I accept

[00:02:09] I won't cling to what I had in the past but life's a slippery slope

[00:02:13] Regret is the steepest hill

[00:02:15] Hope for the best

[00:02:16] Plan for the worst and maybe wind up somewhere in the middle

[00:02:24] And I'm not saying that I know what I want

[00:02:31] But I know what I don't don't want to rot in my room

[00:02:34] And never know what could have been

[00:02:36] Believe what everyone else tells me is true

[00:02:41] They will say true

[00:02:45] (Yeah they say its true) yeah they say true

[00:02:54] (They say yeah they say they say) yeah they say true

[00:03:04] (That's what they say that's it)
