Conor Oberst - LAX Lyrics

Hulk is on keys! Cool

but saints

thats how you live chris

ppppooop

your soul ocomes back conor

HEY i think thhought that was bad ooooooooooooooooso cool man

Bless Me, Apollo go home you’re drunk

CUZ N SWXAC

You're a plastic knife you're pretty dangerous and so untrue, know it's all been said a couple million times why'd you make me fall in love with you

The ocean's just a trinket – a gift from me to you

I love you Conor.

I'll pick you up just tell me when you land
It's raining in LA and everyone's gone mad
I'd love to take you to the desert but you hate making plans
I'll pick you up just tell me when you land

Now all my songs are sounding out of tune

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE CONOR SONG?
(Mine are) :

1. Coat Check Dream Song
2. A Song To Pass The Time
3. Ahead Of The Curve
4. If Winter Ends
5. Take It Easy

A line allows progress a circle does not
Gentlemens pacr
An attempt to tip the scales
Easy/lucky/free
Lets not shit ourselves
(No order, just mood or substance im using)

Don't forget landlocked blues

1. shell games
2. Cape canaveral
3. Too late to fixate
4. artifact #1
5. Train under water

I love the song, but it looks like he's on the end of 3 days bender.
I hope he's doing good, and not falling into alchocolism or something.

Wow just wow

I heard Simone Felice produces the song which doesn’t surprise me as its fuckin brilliant!

i want to roundhouse kick the guy in the audience going "WHOAAUH" after every single measure.

I love this but it reminds me musically and lyrically of Breezy from the Gentleman's Pact EP

royaldaylight I can totally feel that.

so fucking good, if Conor wrote those piano parts, holy shit. nevertheless, long live James Felice

I am so in love.

Drunk piece of shit put out a album we all love you

Just heard this song in the beginning of the movie Juliet naked, But I like this version better

Feeling lovesick right now, and this song hits ma in the heart.

thanks for uploading this. his next album is going to be amazing i think.

I'll pick you up, just tell me when you land
It's raining in LA, and everyone's gone mad
I'd love to take you to the desert
But you hate making plans
I'll pick you up, just tell me when you land

Now all my songs, they're sounding outta tune
The oceans just a trinket, a gift from me to you
I want to sing your praises
Cause you been feeling blue
But all my songs are sounding out of tune

You're a drag queens dress
You're a plastic knife
You're pretty dangerous and so untrue
No its all been said, a couple million times
But why'd you make me fall in love with you

The last time I dropped you off at LAX
I kissed you on the forehead, I wished you all the best
I realized you never stayed put, the last time you left
The last time I dropped you off at LAX

But if you want to come back in the spring
We could go to the movies, we could do anything
It's all within reason, it's all been in my dreams
If you want to come back in the spring

You're a toy I like
You're a traffic light
You're the thing I stop and go for when I move
Yea I never know, if it's wrong or right
But why'd you make me fall in love with you
Yea I never know, if it's wrong or right
Or why you made me fall in love with you

the ledge when I’m blue, not when I move

If you listen to the demo version of this, you can actually pretty clearly hear he says "When I move." It sounds like he's building off the tragic light analogy and says "You're the thing I stop or go for when I move."

@Aaron Rendon yea i actually agree that its when i move, thank you for bringing back to my mind, hath been edited

Was at that concert in Charlotte. Great show, great song

Beautiful song, but it breaks my heart he's still drinking himself to death.

Augustusir Is he?

sure looks like it

I really hope he keeps it stripped down like this on the album version, or at least as minimalistic as Lime Tree off of Cassadaga or Spring Cleaning off of his split album with Neva Dinova

For some reason reminds me of "Beeswing" by Richard Thomspon, in sentiment, at least.

Great tune, also!

Horrible

Something Better88 I mean you’re entitled to that opinion but most of us disagree

Hayley Filegar peace be with you

Sounds great to me.

Damn good music. :)

thank you for sharing this.

powerfully sad. strongly beautiful.

Conor Oberst, I am not untrue, you are just always late.

These last two new songs that Connor has written are absolutely incredible, reminiscent of the Raw pain that made the early Bright eyes works so powerful. Connor has had one hell of a return to creative genius these last few years starting with Upside down mountain, he’s always been good but his last few records sound like he’s finally figured out how to make amazing music as he approaches middle age, something a lot of very young talented people never quite figure out as they get older.

Mark my words. The next record is gonna hit the world like a bulldozer.

He's been such an amazing artist for so long....

up there with Dylan for me.

God / Verified hey, you were right. The BetterOblivionCommunity Center album is amazing.

It’s so odd to see him singing and not playing any instruments, but I love it❤️

ya. i've been following conor for nearly 20 years and i think this is the first time i've seen this.

for real and the fucking POWER.

Whoever gave this a thumbs down, do you even have a soul

Hayley Filegar no, clearly they do not

Obviously it’s the people who had this as a recommended video and are physically incapable of having their own thoughts

He's so perfect, I'm crying.

Dee Harper he’s everything

EVERYONE SHOULD BE !

Beautiful! Thanks for posting!!

Conor is looking a little haggard

I don't think it's because of his brother's death. I get the idea that he's been having a tough go at it with his wife. This song seems to be about the distance between them, physically and mentally.

I think it's everything...

he's also just on the road touring and an ex alcoholic in his 30s???

​@Shane Shank Well that sucks. I do feel somewhat weird that he's been making these great music now that he's having hard time in life, though. Cause were essentially profiting this pain. But WTF, this song is amazing.

@Autumn Brown H'es like 39 now.

Did he play anything else new? I missed the damn show and can't forgive myself. Thanks for the upload.

Dwayne Robertson he didn’t play the other new song that he has been playing, but it was an phenomenal show! I ended up getting the setlist.

Hayley Filegar that one "no one is gonna change" song is fucking amazing, but this LAX song brings me to tears, too. I really am hoping for a record store day release this Black Friday, but I haven't heard anything on it.

He’s been touring a lot of this year so I’m feeling doubtful he’ll have a record store day release. I️ agree, this song gives me ALL of the feels. I️ was so glad he played it.

Amazing video...💜 "Thanks so much!! "

It was a beautiful night! I was worried he was going to fall forward because he kept pushing the microphone harder and harder lol
