Song lyrics
I know that is it freezing, 
But I think we have to walk. 
I keep waving at the taxi's, 
They keep turnin' their lights off. 
But, Julie knows a party at some actor's West Side loft. 
Supplies are endless in the evenin', 
By the mornin' they'll be gone. 

When everything is lonely, 
I can be my own best friend. 
I get a coffee and the paper; 
Have my own conversations: 
With the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection. 
The mask I polish in the evenin', 
By the mornin' looks like shit. 

And, I know you have a heavy heart, 
I can feel it when we kiss. 
So many men, stronger than me, 
Have thrown their backs out tryin' to lift it. 
But me, I'm not a gamble, 
You can count on me to split. 
The love I sell you in the evenin', 
By the mornin' won't exist. 

You're looking skinny like a model, 
With your eyes all painted black. 
You just keep goin' to the bathroom, 
Always say you'll be right back. 
Well, it takes one to know one kid, I think you got it bad. 
But what's so easy in the evenin', 
By the mornin's such a drag. 

I got a flask inside my pocket, 
We can share it on the train. 
And if you promise to stay conscoius, 
I will try and do the same. 
Well we might die from medication, but we sure killed all the pain. 
But what was normal in the evenin', 
By the mornin' seems insane. 

And I'm not sure what the trouble was-- 
That started all of this. 
The reasons all have run away, 
But the feeling never did.
It's, not somethin' i would recommend, but it is one way to live. 
'Cause what is simple in the moonlight, 
By the mornin' never is. 

It was so simple in the moonlight, now it's so complicated. 
It was so simple in the moonlight; 
So simple in the moonlight; 
So simple in the moonlight.

This song's a new favourite, for sure.

Even the video is simplistic, but it has a sort of lasting impression...

i don't mind sounding like an obbsessive conor lover; i am. his music is incredible. i love this song, too. it's one of the saddest i've heard, though, i think. i mean, a lot of them are sad, but this one is truly depressing. beautiful and captivating, though.

I absolutly LOVE this song. I love how conor's voica always fits the song. One minute he can soung almost as he's crying, and next he sounds like he's on the verge of a mental breakdown. This song is awesome, and posibly my favorite Bright Eyes song ever. The lyrics are so emotional, you must be made of tin if you can't realate to atleast a part of this song. I love how Bright Eyes isn't afraid to put everything in perspective without worrying about what people think. I love this song, and it will be one of my favorites for the rest of my life.

bright eyes... is amazing. really really amazing.

this song though.. ugh. pro-anna sites use the

"You're looking skinny like a model,
With your eyes all painted black.
You just keep goin' to the bathroom,
Always say you'll be right back."

so much. i dont think they even get the actual point of the song half the time.

@BUC:
He wrote this song about his girlfriend, Laura, hence why another of his songs (one of my favourites) is called Laura Laurent.
I think that may be why it's called that, although I could be wrong.

Bright Eyes's songs have such imagery that you can't help but relate. And Conor's voice is one of the few that can make me cry. His voice is just so raw, it's moving. If people want songs that will move them or if they want to know meaningful or beautiful songs, I always direct them toward Bright Eyes.
This has always been a song I'm fond of.

I got goose bumps when I listened to this song the first few times, and I almost never get that. This song is damn good, and the lyrics make my knees go weak. Love love love bright eyes.
