Hundreds Of Ways
Conor Oberst Song Lyrics

What a thing to be a witness to the sunshine

What a dream to just be walking on the ground

What a time to live among the ashen remnants of our love

It came before and I'm still looking for that now.

It took centuries to build these twisted cities

It took seconds to reduce them down to dust

And all the tour guide could say was

'take your pictures folks it's late, try your best please to remember what was done.'

Don't look so forlorn

Don't you look so scared

Don't get so upset

This world was never fair.

But there are hundreds of ways

To get through the days

There are hundreds of ways

Now you just find one.

I used to think that time was of the essence

Now I just wish I could get some sleep

All this strange parade of sounds the city makes when I lay down

Little explosions that set fire to my dreams.

Sometimes I get mistaken for this actor

And I guess that I can see it from the side

Maybe no one really seems to be the person that they mean to be

I hope I am forgotten when I die.

Don't contradict me

Don't make me cross the line

If you feel threatened

It's only 'cause I might.

But there are hundreds of ways

To get through the days

There are hundreds of ways

To get through the day

Yes, there are hundreds of ways

So you best find one.

All my hero's they're all talk

Running in circles

Some stop watch some cast

Love was the message. full stop.

We ramble on and on

We ramble on and on.

I stole all the rhinestones out of carolina

Sold them out in bakersfield for cash

The bandshell got a band sounds like an arcade in japan

Blew all my quarters trying to get that feeling back.

Now any sucker can turn boredom into violence

A sociopath riding on a bus

His irises are black from his novelty contacts

He looks around but he can't see the rest of us.

In my sunglasses don't mind the blinding light

It's getting dark but I've always loved the night.

But there are hundreds of ways

To get through the day

There are hundreds of ways

To get through the day

There are hundreds of ways

To get through the day

There are hundreds of ways

To get through the day

There are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of ways

To get through the day

Just find one.
