Lyrics Conor Oberst

Conor Oberst

Purple Chin

I traveled a million miles by myself

Am I here, or am I somewhere else?

I'm somewhere else, and I smile as to misplace

I woke up and I was face to face

With some strange evil that I just can't erase

And at times I guess I don't care about this But I can't let it trouble me,

Not with such great possibility

Will it come, Will it come? We'll just have to wait and see

I have to steal what I cannot take

Once I learn what's at stake

Why are we still standing here, here, here, still standing here

I've been pushed in, I've been thrown out

I've blew up the things you only read about

Destructive blood runs through my head

And all the things that are left unfed

How can I sleep when my life is sick in bed?

Like an airplane coming down

Trying to walk or lounging around

I don't know, I don't know but I can't just give up anymore

You gave up, I lost ten

If I had known now where I've been

But someday I plan to go back there again once again

I have to steal what I couldn't make

Once I learned what I couldn't take

And I know what was the best

Each time we put the best to rest

To rest, gonna put it all to rest

To rest, we put it all to rest

It's time I put it all to rest

To rest
