Lyrics Conor Oberst – Purple Chin
Text:
I traveled a million miles by myself
Am I here, or am I somewhere else?
I’m somewhere else, and I smile as to misplace
I woke up and I was face to face
And at times I guess I don’t care about this
?
?
But I can’t let it trouble me,
Not with such great possibility
Will it come, Will it come? We’ll just have to wait and see
I have to steal what I cannot take
Once I learn what’s at stake
?
Why are we still standing here, here, here, still standing here
I’ve been pushed in, I’ve been thrown out
I’ve blew up the things you only read about
?
Destructive blood runs through my head
And all the things that are left unfed
How can I sleep when my life is sick in bed?
Like an airplane coming down
Trying to walk or lounging around
I don’t know, I don’t know but I can’t just give up anymore
You gave up, I lost ten
If I had known now where I’ve been
But someday I plan to go back there again once again
I have to steal what I couldn’t make
Once I learned what I couldn’t take
And I know what was the best
To rest, gonna put it all to rest
To rest, we put it all to rest
It’s time I put it all to rest
To rest
