Bright Eyes - Contrast and Compare (Making Words Work) lyrics

Contrast and compare Between the busy ones and the ones who don't care Until there is no one That you really know So I drift through these days Of appointments and promises made They all end up broken And quickly replaced Weeks are slow, days drag on Even practice and parties seem long But I find myself going I guess there is nothing to do, oh well Group of kids, lines of cars More will show up after the bars close There's this boredom that drowns everything Bottles break, music plays Conversations competing for space I look for a corner or a quieter room There's no heat in this house I can't breathe with these words in my mouth But I'm not going to say them Yeah, I've made that mistake before On the stairs, she grabs my arm Says whats up, where've you been, is something wrong? I try to just smile And say everything's fine
