Bright Eyes Lyrics
"Spent On Rainy Days"

I wish I saved up for rainy days,
Because they're the hardest to be dry.
I got no self-control.
I'm always begging into telephones.
And then I,
I bought a little from a brother's friend, yeah, well,
Just to get me by.
I don't trust his cut.
The effect's never as high as the mark-up.
I think I'll print it in the personals,
That I'm looking for a match -
Someone to light me up.
Someone to burn the proof of the things that I've done.

Each day there's hours I skip like a stone.
I just crawl in a bag.
I wanna live my life like somebody's shadow.

I know I'm lazy with the little things.
I mean I never held a door,
But I still loved you more,
Than anyone since or before.
You're always saying that I owe you one, well,
Let's consolidate this debt -
Get on a payment plan.
I'll pay you compliments you can still treat me bad.
But now it's easy, getting easier,
To leave you and this town behind.
I'll do some traveling.
Once I'm gone tell all our friends you got even.

I'm held like an object and then set aside.
I'm back on the shelf.
I'm locked in the drawer.
I'm mint in the box by cheap stuff.
You'd sell me for cost, wouldn't you?

I'd be anything,
The cord of a parachute.
I'll be anything,
The blanket on top of you.
I'll be anything,
The window you're looking through.
I'll be anything,
The cord of a parachute.

I'll be anything,
The cord of a parachute.
The cord of a parachute.
