Bright Eyes – Spent On Rainy Days lyrics

I wish I saved up for rainy days
Because they're the hardest to be dry.
I got no self-control
I'm always begging into telephones .
And then I?
I bought a little from a brother's friend, yeah,
Just to get me by.
I don't trust his cut
The effect is never the same as the mark-up.
I think I'll print it in the personals
That I'm looking for a match -
Someone to light me up
Someone to burn the proof of the things that I've done.

Each day there's hours I skip like a stone
I just crawl in a bag.
I wanna live my life like somebody's shadow

I know I'm lazy with the little things
I mean I never held a door.
But I still loved you more
Than anyone since, or before.
You're always saying that I owe you one, well,
Let's consolidate this debt -
Get on a payment plan
I'll pay you compliments you keep on treating me bad.
But now it's easy, getting easier,
To leave you and this town behind.
I'll do some traveling
Once I'm gone tell all our friends you got even.

I'm held like an object and then set aside,
I'm back on the shelf,
I'm locked in the drawer,
I'm mint in the box by cheap stuff.
You'd sell me for cost, wouldn't you?

I'd be anything?
The cord of a parachute
I'll be anything?
The blanket on top of you
I'll be anything?
The window you're looking through
I'll be anything?
The cord of a parachute

I'll be anything?
The cord of a parachute
The cord of a parachute
