Spent On Rainy Days - Bright Eyes

I wish I saved up for rainy days

Because they’re the hardest to be dry.

I got no self-control

I’m always begging into telephones.

And then I I bought a little from a brother’s friend, yeah,

Just to get me by.

I don’t trust his cut

The effects never as high as the mark-up.

I think I’ll print it in the personals

That I’m looking for a match —

Someone to light me up Someone to burn the proof of the things that I’ve done.

Each day there’s hours I skip like a stone

I just crawl in a bag.

I wanna live my life like somebody’s shadow

I know I’m lazy with the little things

I mean I never held a door.

But I still loved you more

Than anyone since, or before.

You’re always saying that I owe you one, well,

Let’s consolidate this debt —

Get on a payment plan

I’ll pay you compliments you keep on treating me bad.

But now it’s easy, getting easier,

To leave you and this town behind.

I’ll do some traveling

Once I’m gone tell all our friends you got even.

I’m held like an object and then set aside,

I’m back on the shelf,

I’m locked in the drawer,

I’m mint in the box but you’d still,

You’d sell me for cost, wouldn’t you?

I’d be anything

The cord of a parachute

I’ll be anything

The blanket on top of you

I’ll be anything

The window you’re looking through

I’ll be anything

The cord of a parachute

I’ll be anything

The cord of a parachute

The cord of a parachute
