Lyrics Conor Oberst – College
Text:
When I’m feeling down and it’s hard for me to see
I just think of when you slept over watching over me
And it makes me feel better, but really not that much
I reach out my hand frightened to throw your hand a clutch
I’m running from my sadness and I’m running from my fear
Something deep inside of me will always miss you
But now you’re gone and there is nothing I can do
?
but like it ever was,
My guitar needs tuning and the TV’s in a fuss
I lay awake and cry at night waiting for the sound
Of your foot steps coming up the stairs while I watch a show downtown
You taught me how to play this thing, then you left me here
I’m running from my sadness and I’m running from fear
A broken string, a broken heart is all I have to hold
But just like you have always been I’ll try to be as bold
I lost a real good friend today but you had to leave
?
And now I hope, and every night I pray
That you are kept safe and brought back to me someday
I miss you and I love you, this you already know
What I didn’t tell you is that you’re my hero
