Lyrics Conor Oberst – Time Forgot

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 I can do just what I want
I want to walk in the howling wind till it scatters all my thoughts
Sit all alone on that riverbank till I forget that I can talk

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

Ivy crawls up the garden wall builds a ladder towards the sun
It can’t be climbed but who is going to mind If I claim it can be done
Illusion

And the sun goes down
And the stars come out
And the distance that I’ve 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 going to work for my sanity give it everything I’ve got
Though so far I have cheated death I know someday I’ll get caught
Just living

So here we go, man, it is 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
