Bright Eyes lyrics : "I Watched You Taking Off "

meaning is sometimes hard to spot
it begins with the flickering of cigarettes
in the darkness of a dorm room

somewhere in the suffocated mid-west
and if this is real then i was mistaken
and if there is truth then why can't we find it?

beauty comes to those who have been waiting for something
bigger than themselves
this is the sound of the hopeless kids

as they scream from the ba!@&(ts of the houses of their
parents
and this is the sound of the hopeless ones

as they stare down at their books
and realize they have been lied to
but if this is real then i was mistaken

and the vision fades as quickly as it came
consistency like that which i have craved
is that people change so unexpectedly

and realization finds you in a drunken airport
some planes depart and others never arrived
so with this in mind i don't plan on waiting

if its time to leave and break these old ties
without something else this vision is fading
but until its gone the pain will make us try

but this is the hope
i have been searching for
as the wings catch the sunlight of this cold Nebraska skyline

this is the dream i am dying in
i will wake to find tomorrow
be content without perfection

but if this is real then i was mistaken
and if the vision is gone then i was not awa
