Bright Eyes - Lime Tree lyrics

I keep floating down the river
But the ocean never comes
Since the operation
I heard you're breathing just for one
Now everything's imaginary
Especially what you love
You left another message, said it's done
It's done

When I hear beautiful music
It's always from another time
Old friends I never visit
I remember what they're like
Standing on a doorstep full
Of nervous butterflies
Waiting to be asked to come inside
Just come inside but I keep going out
I can't sleep next to a
Stranger when I'm coming down
It's 8 am, my heart's beating too loud
Too loud

Don't be so amazing or I'll
Miss you too much
I felt something that I had never touched

Everything gets smaller now the
Further that I go
Towards the mouth and the reunion of
The known and the unknown
Consider yourself lucky if you think
Of it as home
You can move mountains with your
Misery if you don't if you don't

It comes to me in fragments
Even those still split in two
Under the eaves of that old lime tree
I stood examining the fruit
Some were ripe and some were rotten
I felt nauseous with the truth
There will never be a time more opportune

So I just won't be late the window closes
Shock rolls over in a tidal wave
And all the color drains out of the frame

So pleased with a daydream that
Now living is no good
I took off my shoes and walked into the woods
I felt lost and found with every step I took
