Lime Tree Lyrics - Bright Eyes

I keep floating down the river but the ocean never comes 

Since the operation I heard you're breathing just for one 

Now everything is imaginary, especially what you love 

You left another message, said it's done 

It's done 

When I hear beautiful music it's always from another time 

Old friends I never visit, I remember what they're like 

Standing on a doorstep full of nervous butterflies 

Waiting to be asked to come inside 

Just come inside 

But I keep going out 

I can't sleep next to a stranger when I'm coming down 

It's 8 a.m., my heart is beating too loud 

Too loud 

Don't be so amazing or I'll miss you too much 

I felt something that I had never touched 

Everything gets smaller now the further that I go 

Towards the mouth and the reunion of the known and the unknown 

Consider yourself lucky if you think of it as home 

You can move mountains with your misery if you don't 

If you don't 

It comes to me in fragments, even those still split in two 

Under the eaves of that old lime tree I stood examining the fruit 

Some were ripe and some were rotten, I felt naseous with the truth 

There will never be a time more opportune
