Reinvent The Wheel Lyrics - Four Winds - Bright Eyes

My friend you were the model 

A priceless work of art 

Boys would fashion their emotions 

To the pattern of your heart 

And I heard you wrote that record 

For a girl you loved but died 

I'm here sewing mine together 

Just hoping you're alive 

And I know you'll never come back now 

To the world where people are 

Because you never understood 

What they loved you for 

Now ghosts, they have their secrets 

And they'll tell them to a few 

So you could never pay attention 

When they're whispering to you 

There were many talents you possessed 

That I wished myself to have 

But the way your eyes would gloss over 

Well, I never envied that 

And I doubt you'll ever come back now 

From wherever it is you are 

Because you never understood 

What we loved you for 

I'm sure the TV sets will tell us 

When someone reinvents the wheel 

Until then I'll have a million conversations 

About shit that isn't real 

But I've tried to breathe in meaning 

Dig deep to every gasp of air 

Because I know you did the same thing 

For as long as you could bear 

I guess everything just circles around 

To where it was before 

So I hope I see you soon 

In some other form
