Conor Oberst Quotes

I drug your ghost across the country, and we plotted out my death.Every city and memory we whispered 'Here is where you rest.'Well I was determined in Chicago but I dug my teeth into my kneesAnd I settled for a telephone, sang into your machine:'You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.'
