Bright Eyes - 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 passage 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?
