I wanted to come visit you
Waiting in the springtime
When the leaves change
The ground outside is waiting for that
Newness that surrounds us
As we dance back through the screen door
In the sunlight of mid-April
But it's glow won't stop the smiles
That are spreading on our faces
As we fall down on the kitchen floor
And she is laughing about that she had heard earlier
And I can't help noticing that she is sitting closer to me
Than she ever has before

    General Comment:I love this song so much... I listen to it all the time I even sang it for my girlfriend... how pathetic is that? Haha.

    This is probably my favorite song of Bright Eyes' at the moment (along with A Few Minutes on Friday, which I also commented). It holds such profound beauty in so few words. It's simple, like springtime love should be...

    General Comment:I agree with new world order. I heard his music before I saw a picture of Conor. I fell in love with the music because of the music. I don't like the music any more so because of how he looks. His looks have absolutely nothing to do with it. Truth be told, I don't really find him that attractive at all, though he has grown on me a little since I first saw a photo of him. I guess he's just not my type as far as the physical department goes.

    General Comment:sometimes, i feel like his songs are so beautiful because he himself is so beautiful. maybe i wouldn't have such an attachment for the melodies and such a longing for the pretty words if he weren't as i see him. i think it would be dissapointing if such amazing things came from a person who wasn't wonderful inside and out.
