I started to sink like the moon tends to do if you stare at it too long
Then you blink and it's gone

— Conor Oberst A Collection of Songs Written and Recorded 1995-1997 (1998)

Notes from Wikiquote

I guess time has a way of making everything alright | it's just there is not enough of it | and so we drink and we sing and we celebrate | this lie and hope that it will last | morning is here night has passed | A celebration upon completion | but i guess fear has a way of making sleep unbearable | and the days seem cold and long | but we'll cry and we dance | and we stumble into love in awkward perfect grace | the moon is gone and the sun has took its place | A celebration upon completion

More quotes by Conor Oberst

You mean nothing to no one but that's nobody's fault.

In a coma, you don't dream,
you just hope that someone sits with you.

Letting Off the Happiness (1998)

My head's a carousel of pictures and
The spinning never stops.

Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground (2002)

As they take eye for an eye until no one can see,
we must stumble blindly forward, repeating history.

Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground (2002)

Because the truth is that gossip
is as good as gospel in this town.
You can save face but
you won't ever save your soul.
And that's a fact.

Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground (2002)
