Conor Oberst

Space Invaders

I know what you're thinking

Or atleast I think I do

What's on my mind isn't half of what on your's

And I turn, see you quaking

And I'm wrapped in your old man coat

Like a present or a broken in leather shoe

And buried in that warmness I can't even remember my fears

Is it obvious to you yet that you hold me up?

Is it obvious to you yet that you keep me up?

Do you know, do you know that you hold me up?

And the planet is safe for now

And my planet is safe for now

Space invaders is getting closer

And my space ships not sure how to fight them, to fight them without you

To fight them, to fight them without you

Can't fight them without you, without you, without you

I'm sorry if its scary for me to depend on you

I don't mean to be a burden at all

I decided in this silence that I can't do this alone

I need safety and hope that you're not pissed off

And I'm selfish and I know it

To ask this of you at a time when your life's so upside down

Now at a time when your life's already mess up as it is

At a time when your life's so up side down

The planet is safe for now

Well my planet is fine for now

Space invaders is getting closer and I'm really not sure how to fight them, to fight them without you

And they're coming so close now

And they're getting so close now

Invaders right on top of me and my space ships don't know how to fight them, to fight them without you

I need you now, I need you now, I need you now

Don't leave me now, don't leave me now, don't leave me now, don't leave me now

Can't fight them, can't fight them, can't fight them, won't fight them, can't fight them without you

And I guess you are like a clown fish in a sea of animals

Yeah that's a sweeping metaphor
