Conor Oberst - The Bumpercar Blues lyrics

You sit there with your sad eyes and you ask me if there's something you can do Well i hate to burst your bubble but there's nothing and you know that it's true My mind is a desert and this conversations dry It's hard to find an answer when you know you have to lie At the thought of my helplessness my stomach starts to churn If i caught on fire would you watch me burn Would you watch me burn I try to phase it out so i could extend my disbelief I never knew someone so broken could bring another such relief Well it's easier to understand when you don't know how i feel This whole damn situation just seems so unreal Time heals all wounds There's not much of a choice If i screamed till my vocal chords exploded you wouldn't hear my voice You wouldn't hear my voice I feel like i'm in that bumpercar and i just got knocked off the track 'cause i just put on the straw that broke the camel's back Blinded by the light so i can't see three feet in front of me It's easy to make a mistake when you've lost all sense of direction I try to squirm away, but the grip just gets tighter I know you're going to stomp my head into the ground But could you be a little quieter Could you be a little quieter Oh I'm trying to get some sleep here Oh I'm trying to get sleep, quiet, sleep Please, thanks, quiet, sleeps, please, thanks, quiet, sleep, thanks Please, thanks
