Bright Eyes - Stairwell Song lyrics
[Bright Eyes - Stairwell Song lyrics]
Underneath an awning concentrating
On the rain
Hearing laughter in the stairwell
It reverberates
They’re talking ’bout the weekend
All the plans that they have made
Said it’s just nice to have
Something to anticipate
We were dressed alike
Though you were one of a kind
For an enigmatic guy you seemed relatable
You were smart
But so foolish with your heart
Eyed the exit from the start
In the end, couldn’t tell what you pretended
Always wild with your sly renegade smile
Perfectly disheveled style
What a waste, I regret it to this day
When I’m trapped inside my bedroom
Planning out my last resort
I have a great imagination so I just teleport
And I’m back with you in Benson
Sitting on that rotting porch
Where we only drank the good
Stuff that we could afford
Could be so damn mean
But you were always sweet to me
You swept me off my feet and we went flying
Tried your best to hide all
The sadness in your eyes
But I caught you every time
That that was possible
You were kind, existential and refined
Always something on your mind
Even then, our love was not in question
Nothing changed
You just packed your things one day
Didn’t bother to explain what happened
You like cinematic endings
On the rain
Hearing laughter in the stairwell
It reverberates
They’re talking ’bout the weekend
All the plans that they have made
Said it’s just nice to have
Something to anticipate
We were dressed alike
Though you were one of a kind
For an enigmatic guy you seemed relatable
You were smart
But so foolish with your heart
Eyed the exit from the start
In the end, couldn’t tell what you pretended
Always wild with your sly renegade smile
Perfectly disheveled style
What a waste, I regret it to this day
When I’m trapped inside my bedroom
Planning out my last resort
I have a great imagination so I just teleport
And I’m back with you in Benson
Sitting on that rotting porch
Where we only drank the good
Stuff that we could afford
Could be so damn mean
But you were always sweet to me
You swept me off my feet and we went flying
Tried your best to hide all
The sadness in your eyes
But I caught you every time
That that was possible
You were kind, existential and refined
Always something on your mind
Even then, our love was not in question
Nothing changed
You just packed your things one day
Didn’t bother to explain what happened
You like cinematic endings
