Artifact #1 Lyrics - Upside-down Mountain - Conor Oberst

What would it take to gain acceptance 

To the grounds behind your eyes 

You know I'm open to suggestion 

The one you made we never tried 

Let it slip right out from under 

Your breath and it rolled around my head 

It was nothing I'd consider 

I knew it had to happen then 

Stood on the banks of the Potomac 

We watched the water rushing by 

You said we should live in the moment 

Then I'd miss you all the time 

And I know no one will believe me 

But I don't want a second chance 

To be an object of desire 

If that means slipping through your hands 

If I had tried to make you mine 

You would have walked away 

I can't compete with memories 

They never have to change 

This world is full of missing persons 

All of these unsolved mysteries 

If someone says they know for certain 

They're selling something certainly 

So when I set myself to wonder 

All the questions that remain 

The only one that even matters 

Is when I'll see you're face again 

I keep looking back for artifacts 

To prove that you were here 

The sound that's been keeps echoing 

It never disappears
