joseffrost Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Wow, this just about EXACTLY sums up how I felt a few weeks back. Conor Oberst is a genius: Bright Eyes - It's cool, we can still be friends Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek Yeah, you still kiss me, but it's just on the cheek Yeah, you still kiss me sometimes But it's just on the cheek You pull away so easily And I still call you, but I get your machine And I still call you, but I get your machine And if I'm lucky, I guess, it's your roommate answering But you're at the bar Or at Gene's And we go to dinner, but you won't hold my hand We sit at the same table, but we don't play with our feet Yeah, we still go to dinner sometimes But we don't sneak a kiss When the waitress turns around And we still watch movies, but we don't share the couch And we still rent movies, but we don't share the couch Yeah, we still watch movies sometimes But you don't lay in my lap The plot is slow, take a nap You even stay over, but we stay in our clothes Yeah, you'll even sleep over, but now we stay in our clothes Yeah, you even sleep over sometimes But we stay in our clothes I'm only there so you're not alone And you say that I hurt you in a voice like a prayer Yeah, you say that I hurt you, and your voice is like a prayer Yeah, well, maybe I hurt you sometimes Let's contrast and compare Lift up your shirt - the wound isn't there I guess that your truth is just the ghost of your lies I guess your kind of truth is just the ghost of your lies Your kind of truth, darling, is just the ghost of your lies I see through them all the time So, I'm pouring some whiskey, I'm gonna get drunk Yeah, I'm pouring myself some whiskey I'm gonna get real ****ing drunk I'm pouring some whiskey right now I'm going to get so, so drunk That I pass out and forget your face By the time I wake up...
Taucher Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 That is brilliant and sums up exactly how I was (and sometimes still am, er, are?) feeling. It is also a good advert for NC. I will download it from iTunes. T
