Zigzagging Toward The Light

Conor Oberst

(Intro) (Verse) I'm blessed with a heart that doesn't stop My minds a weathervane it spins around just like a top Knows what the winds of fortune bring in the season of the witch Home is a perjury, a parlor trick, an urban myth Oh how the circumstances change, oohoho This world is smoke and steam, compromise and meter maids I'm going to leave here before to long, ohooho Zigzagging toward the light, I'm off to sing my boundless song (Interlude) (Verse) True love it hides like city stars Nothing to gaze upon or contemplate how near or far If it comes, it comes quite unannounced, a momentary glance Lit up by sun or moon or bonfire or ambulance Oh how the circumstances change, oohoho Feels unmistakable, with no idea from where it came But you will know it when it's gone Zigzagging through the night, I've heard you sing your boundless song (C-Part) How did you sing the boundless song? How did you sing? How did you sing? Sing for the founders, his word is never kept A bindle of flowers to state his mind and bloom when he forgets (Interlude) (Verse) It's true that shadows tell the time On sunny afternoons, on crowded sidewalks, passersby I'm in a queue that stretches out far as the eye can see It forms a figure eight and goes on for eternity Oh how the circumstances change (oohoho) I fly by interstate across a purple mountain range I find a place to come undone (oohoho) Zigzagging toward you now, I sing out loud our boundless song (Outro) (4x) Em (4x)
