Bright Eyes Entry Way Song Lyrics

Entry Way Song Lyrics

last saturday i stood in your entry way
that place where we used to
wait
for cars to carry us away
like once in this storm, they drove me and
justin home
the music was just being born
it was all i was longing
for

now im on a plane
off singin my songs again, oh please dont think
ill of it
cause its the reason i exists
but you, youre the crutch of a
cripple
you're the calm of a conscience 
you're the peace that i have
found
when all these voices talk too loud you are quietly reassuring
me
With the hands of a healer 
And the tongue of a teacher 
its your
voice that I have known 
To be the first one on the phone 
Yeah, you ran
all the lights to the hospital 

So don't you say to me 
That life's a
trap 
The future is nothing but a tragedy 
'Cos I'll be out of that window

Yeah, I'll start wishing to die again 
Just say we're not walking
backwards, kid 
And show me to the door 
And I'll walk behind 
Out
into the hot sunlight 
Where the world's very much alive 
Even when I
close my eyes 

Well, should I admit 
That my promise is counterfeit

That I'm careless and childish 
And that's all I can hope to be 
And
would you concede 
That I think only of myself 
I refuse everybody's help

Who has been reaching out for me 
Well, you reach with the soul of a
sailor 
And the swing of a miner 
You have cleared the rock away

Leaving gold there in its place 
And it is more than anyone could claim

Oh, with the sense of a banker 
And with the touch of a tailor 
You
saved this life for me 
And you have sown it to beauty 
And I am grateful
now and I will always be 

So would you sing with me 
The song is all I
know 
Some truths are told now only in a melody 
So I've been writing a
new one 
Yeah, I've been taking my time with it 
It's gonna be so perfect

It's gonna hold all of us inside of it 
You will see 
If you just add
your harmony 
I think it would be complete 
And be worthy of singing

Becomes a symphony 

Yeah, you're the cool of the water 
You're
the start of the summer 
Keep me still like a anchor 
In a storm you're
the cellar 
When I'm heavy with worry make me light as a feather 
When
I'm deafened by anger you're the song I remember 
With the grace of a dancer
and the strength of a pillar 
When I'm starving to suffer you just fill me
with laughter 
You're a poet 
And a saint 
You are the only one I
choose to imitate 
Oh, like the love of a father through the eye of a camera

It's this picture I have seen 
We're on a sloping hill of green 
And
you are walking there beside me
