Bright Eyes - June On The West Coast Lyrics
I spent a week drinking the sunlight of winnetka, california
Where they understand the weight of human hearts
You see sorrow gets too heavy and joy it tends to hold you
With the fear that it eventually departs.
And the truth is I've been dreaming of some tired, tranquil place
And if all the years of searching find one sympathetic face
Then its there I will plant these seeds and make my home
I spent a day dreaming of dying in mesa, arizona
Where all the green of life had turned to ash
And I felt I was on fire, with the things I could have told you
I just assumed that you eventually would ask
And I wouldn't have to bring up my so badly broken heart
And all those months I just wanted to sleep
And though spring, it did come slowly, I guess it did its part
My heart has thawed and continues to beat
Where the forest and the water become one
And we talked about our childhood, like a dream we were convinced of, that
Perfect peaceful street where we came from
And I know he heard me strumming all those sad and simple chords
As I sat inside my room so long ago
And it hurts that he's still shaking from those secrets that were told by a
Car closed up too tight and a heart turned cold
And I went to san diego
The birthplace of the summer
And watched the ocean dance under the moon
And there was a girl I knew there, one more potential lover
I guess that something's got to happen soon
Because I know I can't keep living in this dead or dying dream
And as I walked along the beach and drank with her
I thought about my true love, the one I really need
With eyes that burn so bright, they make me pure
They make me pure
They make me pure
I long to be with you [x2]

Bright Eyes June On The West Coast Comments
Takes me back over a decade
how does he do it? get at our cores like that?
why does he sound like hes farting in the start? LOL
He was a heroin addict for a bit when recording this album. It's the sounds of someone shooting up
resonata_ lol.... are you sure about that he was kind of a child prodigy im pretty sure he was like 16 when he did this album lol. now i was a heroin addict when i started listening to this but im pretty sure he just drank occasionally because if he was in fact a heroin addict all his songs would sound like this n there would be no fevers n mirrors... or pretty much every other song he ever did. they werent so happy lol.
No, it's the sound of someone having an orgasm.
Preeti K maybe he is
Wuh Orp no he did heroin for a while. He did a lot if drugs
sophomore year
I long to be with you...
I love the shit out of this song it hits me deep..
He sung about Arizona, California and Washington but not Oregon :'( still love this song tho,,
I first discovered this song when I was 16. I rediscovered it now in my adult life. It's like meeting an old friend
What a beautiful song
this is that fire. love smokin kush to this
Damn Conor must have an old ass soul.
6 months till spring, hope I'll make it
hang in there man, only a few weeks now
1 month. I've been depressed all winter
Damn Daniel, back at it again with the white vans.
Spring must be pretty relieving where u guys live... but here in Georgia where its hot all year round its basically summer with a shit load of pollen lol
It's June 1st today and i'm in CA listening to this <3
His voice is so beautiful and real and raw. I love his lyrics... all of his lyrics ever...

i live in Mesa Haha
Woah, wtf. This showed up on my FB that I shared it, but I didn't.
He's probably referring to how similar this song sounds to Kimya Dawson's "So Nice, so Smart", which is on the Juno soundtrack. And her name is Juno, not June. As if the movie's title wasn't enough of a clue.
This song came out 10 years before Juno my man
Matt Bennett this song was around wayyyy before that movie
The girl's name is June in the movie, and she may even live on the west coast haha.
I hold to tightly to the past as well, but it's pointless; and though I won't be stopping anytime soon I hope you can. Because it's such a silly burden to carry with you.
wow, early Bright Eyes...perfect.
Nothing can better describe how I feel right now.
i find so much comfort in every single bright eyes song
Brilliant song, why isn't this sung anymore. music just fucked up recently :[
and I wouldn't have to bring up my so badly broken heart.... <3
My heart has thawed and continues to beat...
i thought about my true love, the one i really need
with eyes that burn so bright, they make me pure
they make me pure
they make me pure
i long to be with you
This should have been on the juno soundtrack :p
I love this, heck yes!
