Exaltation on a Cool, Kitchen Floor Lyrics
I wanted to come visit you
Waiting in the springtime
When the leaves change
The ground outside is waiting for that
Newness that surrounds us
As we dance back through the screen door
In the sunlight of mid-April
But it's glow won't stop the smiles
That are spreading on our faces
As we fall down on the kitchen floor
And she is laughing about that she had heard earlier
And I can't help noticing that she is sitting closer to me
Than she ever has before
Waiting in the springtime
When the leaves change
The ground outside is waiting for that
Newness that surrounds us
As we dance back through the screen door
In the sunlight of mid-April
But it's glow won't stop the smiles
That are spreading on our faces
As we fall down on the kitchen floor
And she is laughing about that she had heard earlier
And I can't help noticing that she is sitting closer to me
Than she ever has before

Oh, how pretty.
he does spend an awful lot of time on floors though, doesn't he?
only conor could paint such a vivid, beautiful picture with so few words. the last two lines say so much.
I think this goes with "A Perfect Sonnet."
"But once you knew a girl And you named her "lover" Danced with her in kitchens Through the greenest summer..."
So ladies, if you ever want to get a chance with Conor Oberst, just visit him while he's eating from a bowl of oranges in California during June. He'll most likely write a song about it.
i don't like when people seem to only like bright eyes because they think conor is hot. seriously, there's more to him than his looks.
i wish i was that girl :(
that girl is no doubt neely jenkins <3
that girl is no doubt neely jenkins <3
Weird song, seems to stop laying what he planned to half-way thruogh and have a little jam session, but it's all good stuff, and the lovely lyrics and serene meldoy and acoustic guitar make this one a slightly under-rated one I think.
have i heard an odd version or can you just barely even hear and understand him? whatever... its still good!
What an amazing song. This song gives a whole story in one single frame of thought, and does it so very beautifully. What would we do without Conor?
without conor we would without a doubt cease to exists
change "she" to he and you've my life story! this song is beautiful, like all of bright eyes' music
i really admire conor for his work.
