Lifted (Lyric) by wilco
All of these empty streets
under a thousand lifeless stars;
Some say they lead to âanywhereâ
but they never get me very far.
Iâve taken a thousand pills
but nothing ever worked as well
as getting away from you
and your twenty-four seven living hell.
So Iâve been looking around for a better life;
Moving on seems right
but Iâve been sitting here all night.
And since Iâve been alone
Iâve realized the telephone
is the heaviest thing
that Iâve ever lifted.
All of these crowded streets
with their glowing neon bars;
She said they lead to nowhere
but theyâre better than the stars.
Iâve thought of the better times
and that works just as well
as getting a call from you
with another bullshit story to tell.
So, Iâve been living here in a better life
and I hope that youâre all right
but sheâs been lying here all night.
And since youâve been gone
Iâve written a thousand shitty songs
just to let you know
that Iâve been lifted.
