Bright Eyes Something Vague Lyrics

Something Vague Lyrics

Now and again it seems worse than it is,
but mostly the view is
accurate.
You see your breath in the air
as you climb up the stairs
to
that coffin you call your apartment.

And you sink in your chair,
brush
the snow from your hair
and drink the cold away.
You're not really
sure
what you're doing this for
but you need something to fill up the
days.
A few more hours.

There's a dream in my brain that just
won’t go away.
It's been stuck there since it came a few nights
ago
I’m standing on a bridge in the town where I lived
as a kid
with my mom and my brothers.
And then the bridge disappears
and I’m
standing on air
with nothing holding me.
And I hang like a
star,
fucking glow in the dark,
for all those starving eyes to
see,
like the ones we’ve wished on.

But now I’m
confused.
Is this death really you?
Do these dreams have any
meaning?
No. No, I think it's more like a ghost
that's been following us
both.
Something vague that we're not seeing,
something more like a
feeling.
