Fast Friends - Conor Oberst

Righteousness is its own reward

Solitude is what I shoot for

What good’s behind me now

It doesn’t count

Butterflies and the hangers on

Come by my house, see the lights on

They want to have their say

At my front gate

Well I don’t know what to tell you man

It has really been too long

Whatever I had to give away

Whatever I had to give away

Is gone

A broken heart is a natural death

But to never love, that is tragic

And the far worse of the two

I can assure you

It’s never hard to make a fast friend

Someone to dance till the song ends

The trick is getting loose

Once they got you

Well I don’t know what to tell you kid

Though it really is too bad

All that I tried to push away

All that I tried to push away

Came back

All that crowded loneliness made for a long day

All that crowded loneliness gave me a long face

Everywhere I go I think I went the wrong way

All that crowded loneliness made for a long day
