*funny because that's exactly where Im at n this is the song I was looking for. Funny how we can search for and find things we didnt know existed but are a perfect fit*
I think it's more complex than that. It seems more like he wants all the good stuff you get from a relationship and being in love without the pain afterwards. I don't know, that's how I interpret it.

@AyameSekine123xxx that is one way to think about it, but you shouldn't speak as if you're certain. Every song he's ever written can be interpreted many different ways, which shows what a great songwriter he is
I am not the only one who listens to this when they can't talk to a certain girl. I wish I could read minds, I would choose that over flying or being strong.
It's about how his fans connect to his music.He goes up to a girl after a show, he complements her and it leads to casual sex. Neither of them want more than just sex. "You write such pretty words." She says to him. "But life's no storybook." He says back. He's just trying to say that even if his songs are emotional and can be related to, he doesn't care about her.
"loves an excuse to get hurt & to hurt. do you like to hurt? i do! i do! then hurt meeeee" i used to be that girl that was too sad to give a fuck and now im here almost again. >.
see, we had a project in english where we could teach a poem to the class and he said songs could be used, and I always wanted to do one of bright eyes' songs, but they sound so lovely and perfect that i forget what the literal words are :I
Not that it matters if he's bi or not, but on one hand he writes songs do that ANYONE can relate to them. At a live show i saw I remember he sang "she wants a boy who..."
This song really helped me... (Not.)Yesterday my boyfriend broke up with me he asked if we can be friends i was balling my eyes out of course but i said yes i had know him for a while... This is my second breakup and geez these really hurt! Right now i told my friends i am not texting for two days so i am waiting till sunday actually to get some space. I have too many little things to remind me of him... He got me a necklace. I HAVE to keep that. All over my stuff it says H+G everywhere so i crossed it all out and i have letters everywhere i hid them in a box so i don't have to see them... I think i'm going to keep distance for a while... Because he said he was going to do something on the last day of school i thought it was a kiss or just holding hands for the first time or a kiss on the cheek. I think i was the breakup he made me cry twice i took the blame because i loved him.. Our relationship lasted for 4 months... I asked if he regretted dating me he said yes. I think every I love you was a lie.... His words cut my heart in half spilling my feelings everywhere. I don't know what i'm going to do next year PLUS i have a hecka bunch of photos of us on my phone and hes in my grade and he sits at our table.... He has been hanging out with another girl and i asked he said he didnt like her but this happend 3 times and i got jelous i told my friends and they just said she wouldn't wouldn't steal him... One of my friends got mad and started to yell at me for this...
Yappa AJ It might seem really bad right now and it's such an overused phrase but time will heal your wounds. From the sound of it you're still pretty young and everything is much more intense when you're that age and it might seem as if you will never get over it but you will eventually.
Can anyone tell me what this song is about? I love it! Please and thank you! :) It's probably obvious, like I know they were making out and didn't know each other, something about drugs, and being masochistic. But is there another meaning? I just love this song so much that I'm dying to know! :D

I remember listening to this constantly in eighth grade, and totally falling in love with this brilliant man.
2:46 about breaks my heart every time
Your life has to hit a new level of darkness to fully appreciate this song.
Couldn't agree more!
*funny because that's exactly where Im at n this is the song I was looking for. Funny how we can search for and find things we didnt know existed but are a perfect fit*
I've been seeing this girl for almost two months and she's obsessed with Bright Eyes.
So she told me to listen to them and...fuck I'm in love.
Noodle Doodle :3 she is gonna need you if she is obsessed with bright eyes
I think it's more complex than that. It seems more like he wants all the good stuff you get from a relationship and being in love without the pain afterwards.
I don't know, that's how I interpret it.
Love the voice, the tune, and above all, the "I wanna boy who's so drunk..." It's rare to hear a guy sing that these days :)
I had a friend who took these lyrics to heart
Best thing I have heard all day.
Me too. "A friend," I meant to say.
I did
Conor's voice comforts me. Makes me feel at home. I am like this...
wow this just song just floods my mind with countless amazing, emotional memories and experiences i had last summer...
I think I'm in love with this song....it's been a week since i discovered it and I love it with an addicting passion. Amazing...
He said it at his own concert, it's about one night stands.
This song is amazing. It makes me feel lifeless, though.
This song is so great and haunting....
my favorite part is "love's an excuse to get hurt. and to hurt. do you you like to hurt? i do, i do. then hurt meeeeeeeee."
I love this song, it really speaks to me
Whoever wrote this is a lyrical genius
this song reminds me of being a confused 14year old . good times lol
There is something so chilling about this song.
omg so poetic and dramatic. i love it
My great musical taste brought me here, as well... & my great musical taste kept me here too.
Awesome song! Love is a balance of hurt!
Honestly the story of my life tho

Beautifully said... and really sad! Thank you so much :D

These are my favorite Bright Eyes/ Conor Oberst Songs (in alphabetical order). What do you think?
A scale, a mirror and these indifferent clocks (Fevers and Mirrors)
Hit the Switch (Digital Ash in an digital Urn)
I must belong somewhere (Cassadaga)
I will be grateful for this day (Noise Floor and Rarities)
Ladder Song (The Peoples Key)
Landlocked Blues (I`m wide awake it`s morning)
Lover I don`t have to love (Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground)
Method Acting (Lifted or The Story Is in the Soil, Keep Your Ear to the Ground)
The Calender hung itself (Fevers and Mirrors)
We are nowhre and it`s now (I`m wide awake it`s morning)
I just want to hold hands and enjoy someone's company, without it becoming a relationship. I want a lover I don't have to love.
I haven't heard this song in years 3
this is some real, honest shit. C'mon
That's what the song is about, one night stands.
this song reminds me of the song used in the game One Chance
:O love that game...
this kind of sounds like frank iero to me idk
true. two amazing artists
all-time-tacos not even close? this came out before mcr released they're first cd
This is what Frank would sound like if he could sing a bit better
Goddamn, Bright Eyes is awesome! This son is emo as FUUUUCK.....I dig it
But you write such pretty words..
this is a solid pop song, i'm down
I sing this song day after day in hopes that someday I may too have a lover I don't have to love...

i used to be that girl that was too sad to give a fuck and now im here almost again. >.
this song is weird but I like it
makes me feel cold to even listen to it.
a vans commercial!!!
@YeuxEnCristal no it's not actually, it's about his life and how it's treating him but not necessarily the loveless sex
@ReallyRandom82 I was that way when I was 12 too and now i'm 17 and nothing changed
see, we had a project in english where we could teach a poem to the class and he said songs could be used, and I always wanted to do one of bright eyes' songs, but they sound so lovely and perfect that i forget what the literal words are :I
maybe its just me but this song is so depressing :L i love it though :] xxxxxxxxxxx
They have a few happy songs. Every now and then everyone has a good day or two. just not today. or tomorrow.
Life's no story book.
Now when I read the lyrics..I know why Queer as Folk took this Song for this special scene ^^
Not that it matters if he's bi or not, but on one hand he writes songs do that ANYONE can relate to them. At a live show i saw I remember he sang "she wants a boy who..."
my life in a song..
This song really helped me... (Not.)Yesterday my boyfriend broke up with me he asked if we can be friends i was balling my eyes out of course but i said yes i had know him for a while...

Thanks i have gotten over it already it's behind me and now i'm staying with working on school i am waiting for a boyfriend ^_^
Should listened to 'its cool we can still be friend' instead.
The truth is its much more fun to have a secret crush all to yourself then to actually be in a relationship. I want a lover I don't have to love -3
Damn
I still fucking love this song-3
I want a lover I don't have to love..
Love's an excuse to get hurt.
Hurt me..
He's taking the chemicals to Isengard.
I do, I do.
Can anyone tell me what this song is about? I love it! Please and thank you! :) It's probably obvious, like I know they were making out and didn't know each other, something about drugs, and being masochistic. But is there another meaning? I just love this song so much that I'm dying to know! :D
@OfficialNijai whyy did antony bring you here?:O
i seen this on tumbr for a killing stalking playlist.
Am I the only one that listens to this when I feel like being sad and shit?
Do you like to hurt? I do, I do, I do.
@wish2goback same here
Thats the comment of the track.
THE OC
cats are cute
My fucking theme song :)
i like it through the beginning, but once the 1st chorus hits, I just can't listen 2 the rest.
@caleb2426 I also listen to this when I feel like being sad and shit.
'Then hurt me' at the end should be, "What about me?"
I want to drown myself in this right about now
I brought myself here.
its about haveing sex with out really being in love useing sex to make your sadness vanish.because to hurt people can make hurt feel good.
That's pretty much why Conor Oberst exists.
