Conor Oberst - Time Forgot lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

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

No, I can do just what I want

I wanna walk in that howling wind till it scatters all my thoughts

Sit all alone on the river bank till I forget that I can talk

Just listen

They say everyone has a choice to make

To be loved, or to be free

I told you once I felt invisible

And I guess by now you see

That what I meant is I’m not all there until I finally leave

Some loneliness is acceptable and some’s just out right mean

It gets even

The ivy crawls up the garden wall builds a ladder towards the sun

It can’t be climbed but who’s gonna mind if I claim it can be done

Illusion

And the sun goes down, and the stars come out

The distance that I 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 gonna work for my sanity, give it everything I got

Tough so far I have cheated death, I know someday I’ll get caught

Just living

So here we go man, it’s beautiful, get your trumpet, get your drum

We’ll be 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 x2

Someone told me that exact same thing once
