Bessa Lyrics
morning came, and I tried not to notice
it was time for you to move along
the minutes fell like petals all around us
like a goodbye kiss when goodbye felt so wrong
so you better get going
you better move along now
you better run off, then
and make yourself scarce
these few days have decided to be lazy
they don't move or seem to end at all
and my heart, it is close enough to breaking
that it hurts just listening to your songs
so you better get going
you better move along now
you better run off, then
and make yourself scarce
it's been a while, now, since you left
and I can't seem to shake this lonely mood
when the time comes, I'll try my best
not to tell you:
"please don't leave again..."
please don't leave again..."
I guess I'll say it now, then
please don't leave me again...
since it's all I have, I want to go to sleep
and dream of you and me just off the coast
on a holiday so long and warm and lucky
I always wake up in my bedroom all alone
guess I better wake up then
guess I better get going
guess I better get moving
guess I better move on, now
and find my own way
it was time for you to move along
the minutes fell like petals all around us
like a goodbye kiss when goodbye felt so wrong
you better move along now
you better run off, then
and make yourself scarce
they don't move or seem to end at all
and my heart, it is close enough to breaking
that it hurts just listening to your songs
you better move along now
you better run off, then
and make yourself scarce
and I can't seem to shake this lonely mood
not to tell you:
"please don't leave again..."
please don't leave again..."
please don't leave me again...
and dream of you and me just off the coast
on a holiday so long and warm and lucky
I always wake up in my bedroom all alone
guess I better get going
guess I better get moving
guess I better move on, now
and find my own way

what does it mean to me? not much, except that it's a rad song. but what does it really mean? i hear rumblings that it's about conor oberst.
It better not be.
hm i doubt its about conor. either way, its a really great song
I think its silly to think it’s about conor oberst, that’s the point of the song, its not relevant who it is about just what the song is about that people relate to it. Just because he is owns their label does not mean that he fucks all the girls in the band. On I side night, they are amazing live and Jamie the tap dancer is sooo amazing. -Jackie
i think this song is about letting someone leave, and then regreting and wishing he/she would come back
p.s. what happened to the last verses of the song!? they are missing i believe.
I've heard that neely and conor used to be "sweethearts"... so who knows?
background singers going "doot doo doot doo doo doo"... jangly piano... tap dancing... a tambourine... people clapping...
i like twee as much as the next person, but come on. this is ridiculous.
This is my second favorite song by this band.
amazing band. i've been inspired by the tap dancing percussionist. i was downtown about a week ago... aimlessly walking around with my father... and some hot boys in a car drove by and yelled "fdjaklda CONOR OBERST"..... that's my two bits.
