Bright Eyes - The Difference In The Shades lyrics

rate me

now that its june, we'll sleep out in the garden

and if it rains, we'll just sink in to the mud

where it is quiet and much cooler than the house is

and there's no clocks or phones to wake us up

because i have learned that nothing is as pressing

as the one who is pressing would like you to believe

and i'm content to walk a little slower

because there's nowhere that i really need to be

and i find that life is easier when it's just a blur

with no details to confuse who or what or where i was

so when the ending comes the full regret will seem obscure

but these are days we dream about when the sunlight paints us gold

and this apartment could not be prettier as we danced up there alone

this tv is old, the color is fucked, do you see the

difference in the shades?

but the green is still close to green, my love

and i believe we are the same

and we'll stay like this, all gold and green

the light collects and projects your heart on a movie screen

and if you close your eyes

we will always be the way we were that night

you crawled inside of me

and you slept in my blood the way you sleep now

the quietest hush has consumed this house

and when the doctors have gone and you sweat through the bed

with the pictures and the pills they piled around your head

just rest now, and in a moment you will know everything

was it all a dream?

it's too vague now to recount.

an outline of the one you loved in a life that was that not longer will be stands above you as you sleep.
