Contrast And Compare Lyrics - Letting Off The Happiness - Bright Eyes

{No it's seven so it's five hours before 1998 

Here's the song 

And the last time I 

One two three, one two three} 

Contrast and compare between the busy ones 

And the ones that don't care 

Until there is no one that you really know 

So I drift through these days 

Of appointments and promises made 

They'll all end up broken and quickly replaced 

Weeks are slow, days drag on 

Even practice and parties seem long 

But I found myself going 

I guess there's nothing to do, oh well 

Group of kids, line of cars 

More will show up after the bars close 

There's this boredom that drowns everything 

Bottles break, music plays 

Conversations competing for space 

I look for a corner or a quieter room 

There's no heat 

(There's no heat) 

In this house 

(In this house) 

I can't breath with these words in my mouth 

But I'm not going to say them 

Yea, I've made that mistake before 

On the stairs, she grabs my arm 

Says, "Whats up, where you been, is something wrong?" 

I try to just smile and say everything's fine
