Conor Oberst - Phil's Song (Learn To Stop Time) Lyrics
Well there's a lady I know down in Acapulco
Has a house up high on a hill
Don't bother bringing medicine
Her smile is your pill
Going to stick my toes in the sand
There's a couple so old, they're taking a stroll
But they're still holding hands
If there's a secret they have, well, I'd like to know
They could whisper it right in my ear
They said, "Open your eyes because you're living blind
And know love is greater than fear"
Because I've been up, and I've been down
Well, there's a girl I see when I go back out east
She lets me sleep in her bed
In the morning we talk about everything
What she learned from the books she's read
There's a store on the corner that sells anything
A simple man might need
Cigarettes and coffee
Lotto tickets just to dream
There's a park on the way where I like to go
Just to sit and watch the folks
Kids playing ball
Their mamas on the phone
Because I've been here, and I've been there
With you, I feel safe and I feel scared
But if I could learn to stop time
Don't you know I would?
How sweet it would be
Only if I could
There's a friend I have, she up and packed her bag
And headed way up north
Turned her back on everything she knew
To brainwash some new foolish fool
If I had to guess, he ain't much different than me
Pretty smart but fairly dumb
Fall in line behind a pretty smile
And a phony selfish charm
But the past is the past and I don't look back
But sometimes she'll call my phone
Open the wound just to rub some salt
She's a miserable person but it ain't her fault
Because I've been here and I've been there
But with you, I feel safe and I feel scared
I've been up, and I've been down
No, I've been around and around
But if I could learn to stop time
Don't you know I would?
How sweet it would be
Only if I could
