I Watched You Take Off

Bright Eyes

Meaning is sometimes hard to spot


It begins with the flickering of cigarettes


In the darkness of a dorm room


Ssomewhere in the suffocated mid-west


But if this is real then I was mistaken


And if there is truth then why can't we find it?


But beauty comes to those who have been waiting


For something that is bigger than themselves


But this is the sound of the hopeless kids


As they scream from the basements


Of the houses of their parents


And this is the sound of the hopeless ones


As they stare down at their books


And realize that they've been lied to


But if this is real then I was mistaken


And if the vision's gone, then I was not aware


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 arrive


So with this in mind I don't plan on waiting


If it's time to leave and break these old ties


Without something more the vision is fading


But until it's gone the pain will make us try


It'll make us try


But this is the hope I've been searching for


As the wings catch the sunlight


Of the cold Nebraska skyline


And this is the dream I am dying in


As I wake to find tomorrow


Be content without perfection


But if this is real then I was mistaken


And if the vision's gone then I was not aware
