Conor Oberst - Slowly Lyrics

Potential, you?re a loaded line
The veil between the world and the faceless bride
There's nothing there but a bunch of white
Oh, potential, you?re a loaded line

Tomorrow, I?m going to wait for you
Laying right here, floating in this swimming pool
There?s a lot of things I got left to do
Oh, tomorrow, I?m going to wait for you

The days keep slipping down into the cracks
It takes a while to realize where you?re at

Slowly (so slowly), slowly (so slowly), slowly, it's slowly ending

Dementia, you better treat me good
The human race isn't, it?s like a childhood
I never learned what I understood
Oh, dementia, you better treat me good

Sometimes, I need a place to go
Classical music plays from my radio
I sit real still, let me shadow grow
Yeah, sometimes, I need a place to go

My mind keeps slipping back into the past
I hope someday that I can get it back

Slowly (so slowly), slowly (so slowly), slowly, it's slowly ending

Soon that train is going to pull in
I hear it whistle
I try to wave
I grew a face
Can?t tell who I am

Slowly (so slowly), slowly (so slowly), slowly, it's slowly ending
