Conor Oberst - Jejune Stars lyrics

Every new day is a gift, it's a song of redemption Any expression of love is the way to return To that place that I think of so often, but now never mention The one the voice in the back of my head says that I don't deserve Come fire, come water, come karma We're all in transition The wheel of becoming erases the physical mind Until all that remains is a staircase of misinformation And the code we inherit, the basis, the essence of life So I go, umbrella under my arm Into the green of the radar How'd it get so dark in the day? It's just so bizarre Is it true what we're made of? Why do I hide from the rain? Inside's so cloudy, nostalgia But there are no features Look at ourselves through a porthole The pa**age of time See that sunny day that we snuck out, hid under the bleachers Kissed as the band marched Everything fell into line So I go, umbrella under my arm Into the green of the radar How'd I get so lost? I'm amazed It's just so bizarre All the things I'm afraid of Why do I hide from the rain? Sure I have my doubts But I know it now We are Jejune stars So it starts again At our childhood's end I'll die young at heart So I go, umbrella under my arm Into the green of the radar How'd it get so dark in the day? It's just so bizarre If it's true what we're made of Why do I hide from the rain?
