Time Forgot-Conor Oberst
Polished my shoes
I bought a brand new hat
Moved to a town that time forgot
Where I don’t have to shave or be approachable
No, I can do just what I want
I wanna walk in that howling wind until it scatters all my thoughts
Sit all alone on the river bank until I forget that I can talk
Just listen
They say everyone has a choice to make
To be loved or to be free
I told you once I felt invisible
And I'm sure by now you see
That what I meant is I’m not all there
Until I finally leave
Some loneliness is acceptable
And some is just outright mean
It gets even
The ivy crawls up the garden wall
Builds a ladder towards the sun
It can’t be climbed but who’s gonna mind
If I claim it can be done
Illusion
And the sun goes down, and the stars come out
In the distance that I felt, I can see it for myself now
Boarded a train to take my memories back
Make up for time that I have lost
I’ll never know if I’m delusional
I just believe that I am not
I’m gonna work for my sanity
Give it everything I got
Tough so far I have cheated death
I know someday I’ll get caught
Just living
So here we go man, it’s beautiful
Get your trumpet, get your drum
Keeping time in a second line
It can make you feel so young
I know you say you’ll go all the way
But that’s not quite far enough
Someone told me that same thing
Someone told me that same thing
Someone told me that exact same thing once
