Bright Eyes - Soon You Will Be Leaving Your Man Lyrics
He always gets so mad things you laugh at.
"Don't get so worked up" you'd say. But on the
Back deck you admit that you haven't felt much
Like laughing lately anyway. And so I say, "that
Could change."
I noticed how you waste no time making your way
Across the room. You leave a wake of tongues
Still waving after you. And it isn't no coincidence
Where you finally choose to stand. I guess soon
You will be leaving your man.
It's a sweet smile and then a denial. Hey, you
Are just trying to be nice. But there is a meaning
To every fleeting action you unconsciously
Decide. The clocks they chime. Now it's time.
I know you try and play it cool but there are
Some thoughts you just can't hide. Only in your
Closest friends do you confide. The way you say
You'll be seeing me, oh like it's so offhand. I
Guess soon you will be leaving your man.
You stare at me so boldly now. You have no lack
Of confidence. It's just those lessons on sublety
You missed. I know you dream of saving me
Like I'm some plane that you could land. But
When you fly you'll be leaving your man.

Bright Eyes Soon You Will Be Leaving Your Man Comments
Okay I’m a little late to the party I know, but this version was the first and only version of this song I heard and I’ve been trying to figure it out myself on acoustic for a while now... apart from starting on Am, can anyone post chords or tabs to follow?
😭 I prefer this one over the album version
This one was my first Bright Eyes song...a lot of nice memories.
Better than the original.
+Isaiah Israel yass
+Isaiah Israel he put a song on a vinyl and missed a whole verse? I had that vinyl.. It was a 7 inch and it was actually the track that is on the motion sickness album.
When you listen to a song that paints a story in your head.. this song is an example. Memories... or just to know how that would feel to be in that situation. Its like you are in it.
but theres a meaning to every fleeting action you unconsciously decide
"You stare at me so boldly now. You have no lack of confidence. It's just those lessons on sublety you missed" These lines are so perfect, they play out just like a movie in my head. I can see the boy, the girl, the room. The situation. Conor has a way of writing stuff so specific and yet anybody can relate to it instantly. Haven't listened to his recent stuff so much, but at his prime (2000-05) he wrote some of the best songs ever.
Gosh this makes me feel. thanks Conor for inspiring people who listen to jew. or is it you. meow
i love conor's music, check out my cover of this song on my page!
It looks like Fevers and Mirrors era, so probably around 2000.
i used to have the mp3 of this. one of my favorite live performances. not flashy, but still incredible
I think Mr. Oberst is a mutant shape shifter, he always looks different. Anyway...this and "Amy in the White Coat," are enough to reduce anyone to tears.
Check out my cover of this song :)
What a beautiful video!
Best concert I ever attended was Bright Eyes.
Does anyone happen to know what year this was?
not positive but I'd guess somewhere between 2000 and 2003.
I love how young he is in this and how happy his brain feels
Thanks for the existence of this video
He covered it up good I wouldn't have even known
@mCanoodles411 yo chill bro b4 i punch u
that smile!
First experience of this artist, and I know it won't be my last.
That smile....
i love his smile when he forgets the lyrics, so cute<3
I want to marry Conor Oberst!!!!!
Hello.. there's quiet a few tabs out there for this song...i'm not sure if you play or not, but you should give it a go :)
If I could just learn how to play this, I'd be happy forever.
"i fuck up the lyrics to one of my songs and i JIZZ - IN - MY - PANTS"
does anyone have any other footage from this show?
if you walk away ill walk away.
first tell me witch road you'll take.
i don't want to risk are paths crossing some day. so you walk that way.
ill walk this way.
Yeah he does... the line he fucked up on was -
"...The way you say you'll be seeing me/ Oh like it's so offhand......"
this song makes me emo as fck...f my life...
lol i just got it
his face
and then i say, that could change. i notice how you waste no timeeee making your way across the room
Don't smile that way!
one of his best songs
you can hold ur breath for a long time!
that is funny
only after he had strummed his final chord, i realized i had been holding my breath throughout this!he is brilliant. thanks for putting this up.
word. this is very nice :)
Beautiful song...
and I love it when musicians make mistakes. It proves they're real people and adds character to the song.
rofl the tags are "BRIGTH eyes CORNER oberst"!
