Conor Oberst
Feb. 15th
[Verse 1]
All eyes on the calendar
Another year I claim of total indifference
To hear the days pile up
With decisions to be made, I'm sure all of them were wrong
Into this song I send myself
And with these drinks, I plan to collapse and forget
This wasted year, these wasted years
Devoted friends, they disappear

[Chorus]
And I'm sorry about the phone call
And needing you
Some decisions you don't make
I guess it's just like breathing
Or not wanting to
There are some things you can't fake

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, there are some things that you can't fake

[Verse 2]
And I guess that it's typical
To cling to memories that you'll never get back again
And to sort through old photographs
Of a summer long ago or a friend that you used to know
And there below his frozen face
You wrote the name and that ancient date, that ancient date
And you can't believe he's really gone
When all that's left is a fucking song
[Chorus]
I'm sorry about the phone call
And waking you
I know that it's late
But thank you for talking
'Cause I needed to
Yeah, some things just can't wait

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, some things just can't wait
Yeah, some things just can't wait
Yeah, some things just can't wait

[Outro]
This can't wait
(That's pretty)
This can't wait
