Sunrise, Sunset
Sunrise, sunset.
Sunrise, sunset.
Swiftly go the days.
Sunrise, sunset.
You're lying while you confess.
Keep trying to explain.
The sun rise and the sun sets.
You realize then you forget
What you've been trying to retain.
But everybody knows it's all about the things that get stuck inside your head,
Like the songs your roommate sings or a vision of her body as she stretches out on your bed.
She raised her hands in the air, asked you,
"When was the last time you looked in the mirror? 'Cause you've changed. Yeah, you've changed."
Sunrise, sunset.
You are hopeful then you regret.
The circle never breaks.
With each sunrise and sunset.
There is a chage of heart or address
Is there nothing that remains?
For a sunrise or a sunset.
You are manic or you're depressed.
Will you ever feel OK?
It's a sunrise and sunset.
Your lover is an actress.
Did you really think she'd stay?
For a sunrise and sunset.
You're either coming or you just left
But you're always on the way.
Towards a sunrise or a sunset.
A scribble or a sonnet.
They are really just the same.
To the sunrise and the sunset.
The master and his servant
Have exactly the same fate.
It's a sunrise and a sunset.
From a cradle to a casket,
There ain't no way to escape.
The sunrise and the sunset.
Hold your sadness like a puppet.
Just keep putting on the play.
But everything you do is leading to the point where you just won't know what to do.
And at that moment you may laugh but there is someone there who will be laughing louder than you.
So it's true, the trick is complete. You've become everything you said you never would be. You're a fool. You're a fool!
Sunrise, sunset.
Sunrise, sunset.
The sun rises and the sun sets.
Sunrise, sunset.
Go home to your apartment,
Put the cassette in the tape deck...
And let that fever play.
Sunrise, sunset.
Where are you, Arienette?
...
Where are you, Arienette?
Conor Oberst is one of the best song writers in the world. I respect that people don't like Bright Eyes, everyone has their opinion, after all. And I can see why. I just don't get how anyone could NOT love those words.
