Bright Eyes - Oh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my...

I love this song! and Conor Oberst is also very cute :D

Lyric:

I met you through a common friend
In the attic of my parents' house
And though I didn't know it then
I soon was finding out
Oh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet
And hold the earth in place
Each time a faucet opens
Words are spoken
The water runs away
And I hear your name
No, nothing has changed
There was this book I read and loved
The story of a ship
Who sailed around the world and found
That nothing else exists
Beyond his own two sails and wooden shell
And what is held within
All else is sure to pass
We clutch and grasp
And debate what's truly permanent
But when the wind starts to shift
Well, there's no argument
Now, I sing and drink and sleep on floors
And try hard not to be annoyed
By all these people worrying about me
So when I'm suffering through some awful drive
You occasionally cross my mind
It's my hidden hope that you are still among them
Well are you?
Oh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet
And hold the earth in place
Each time a curtain opens
Sunlight pours in
A lifetime melts away
And we share a name
On some picturesque grave

[mexifrida]

[samesamething]

@pauldavidsmith86 may god bless you sir.

[pauldavidsmith86]

@samesamething Yes, yes I do. Why thank you.

[samesamething]

@pauldavidsmith86 feel better?

[pauldavidsmith86]

@samesamething Hush up, just because they said Conor is God doesn't mean that they meant he is some true god...they were just making a usual comment about an artist. Get over your Dogma for a second to realize that there was no anti Dogma here....Tool.

[ForestTheAmorous]

@samesamething god means something different to everyone

[heyjude97]
