Weather Reports Lyrics - Bright Eyes

Well, I left my baby for a dream as lovely 

For a love that's only in books I read 

And then I hit the cities, spent all my money 

I just left my whole life in a taxi cab 

'Cause it's just a memory, I can't love completely 

When you're really with me, I'm indifferent 

But I try to get my head clear 

It's too full of ideas that I haven't thought of yet 

And time, clocks keep waving their hands 

Doing all that they can to get our attention 

But the days fly away, down a clean interstate 

And I'm staring drunk at a map 

So I let my hair down for the second time 

Now for the final time, now I had my fun 

But there's no returning from the places we've been 

Just repeat our slogan, never again 

So you split, said you had to get out 

Headed back to the south, where everything is gentler 

And I stayed for a couple weeks more 

All the weather reports said it would be snow for sure 

But the storm moved away to a neighboring state 

I started the car
