Entry Way Song - Bright Eyes

"Entry Way Song" By Bright Eyes On The Complication "Amos House Collection, Vol. 2"

Last Saturday
I stood in your entry way
A place where we used to wait
For cars to carry us away
Like once in this storm
They drove me and Justin home
The music was just being born
It was all I was longing for
Now I'm on a plane
Of singing my songs again
Oh, please don't think ill of it
It's the reason I exist
But you
You're the crutch of a cripple
You're the calm of a conscience
You're the peace that I have found
When all these voices talk too loud
Well, you are quietly reassuring me
With the hands of a healer
And the tongue of a teacher
It's your voice that I have known
To be the first one on the phone
Yeah, you ran all the lights to the hospital

So don't you say to me
That life's a trap
The future is nothing but a tragedy
Because I'll be out of that window
Yeah, I'll start wishing to die again
Just say we're not walking backwards, kid
And show me to the door
And I'll walk behind
Out into the hot sunlight
Where the world's very much alive
Even when I close my eyes

Well, should I admit
That my promise is counterfeit
That I'm careless and childish
And that's all I can hope to be
And would you concede
That I think only of myself
I refuse everybody's help
Who has been reaching out for me?
Well, you reach with the soul of a sailor
And the swing of a miner
You have cleared the rock away
Leaving gold there in its place
And it is more than anyone could claim
Oh, with the sense of a banker
And with the touch of a tailor
You saved this life for me
And you have sown it to beauty
And I am grateful now and I will always be

So would you sing with me
The song is all I know
Some truths are told now only in a melody
So I've been writing a new one
Yeah, I've been taking my time with it
It's gonna be so perfect
It's gonna hold all of us inside of it
You will see
If you just add your harmony
I think it would be complete
And be worthy of singing
My clumsy symphony

Yeah, you're the cool of the water
You're the start of the summer
Keep me still like a anchor
In a storm you're the cellar
When I'm heavy with worry make me light as a feather
When I'm deafened by anger you're the song I remember
With the grace of a dancer and the strength of a pillar
When I'm starving to suffer you just fill me with laughter
You're a poet
And a saint
You are the only one I choose to imitate
Oh, like the love of a father through the eye of a camera
It's this picture I have seen
We're on a sloping hill of green
And you are walking there beside me

The epiphany of a perfect song.

Anybody know where to get it?

[Reivaxbeastly]

@sammiemadison Hey just hook me up with your email, i'll try send it...

[xyellowcard21x]

this is perfection. this is the song his dad gets to listen to knowing that it was written about him

[AlyssaJaneVolta]

This song seems like it wasn't written by a human being, it seems like it's in its own category, it's its own world, it's its own universe, its own life. It's so beautiful it's unbelievable, the way it makes me feel is beyond words. Conor Oberst has touched me in a way no other musician ever has, I will always be partial to him and his talent is a gift that just keeps giving :)

[TheEverythingAlways]

I haven't listened to this song in a long time. Now I am listening to it to make it my favorite once again..It got cold so I put my blanket over my shoulders. I stare into the keyboard while recalling favorite memories. This isn't a sob story. But it is. She was the crutch of a cripple, my dad was the peace I'd found. Everything fall apart just to fall in place somewhere else

[ChristDrew]

This song will never cease to stun me. Its almost too perfect. How does he write this stuff? He wrote the song " when the president talks to god", but Connor, obviously you and a higher power converse on a regular basis!

[PoisonOak321]

Goosebumps and eyes full of tears, every time

[camibewlay]

the lyrics are just too beautiful.

"Oh, like the love of a father through the eye of a camera

It's this picture I have seen

We're on a sloping hill of green

And you are walking there beside me" is perfect.

[zacziggie]

[TheEverythingAlways]

Such a great song. True art, true music, true love, true notes, true emotion..it's so honest yet so sharp. All-time-favorite.

[morgylalala]

How do I get this song? I love it.

[PlayedTheUnraveler]

I just got a tattoo of "When I'm heavy with worry, make me light as a feather" on my arm.

[briannaorbust]
