Anytime Soon - Conor Oberst

You could come around once a year like a Christmas ghost

Or hold me down like an anchor, baby, but you can’t do both

I can’t be your father figure but I could be your friend

Watch me burn my candle crazy at both ends

Nothing’s gonna change here anytime soon

Catching fish in the morning, get drunk before noon

Watching little brown bubbles floating in the spoon

Could be soaking in a warm bath or back in the womb

Anytime, anytime soon

Used to want to be an astronaut but I was just a kid

Spent my days in a batting cage where a robot pitched

Once you were my blushing bride I was your nervous groom

But now we’re just more comfortable sleeping in separate rooms, oh

Nothing’s gonna change here anytime soon

Make a bed for the roses, hope that they bloom

I don’t know if it’s safe, but I just assume

I won’t play in the majors or walk on the moon

Not anytime, anytime soon

Spin me a tornado, honey, cry me a monsoon

Let’s just get through the holidays and the terrible twos

Christmas has passed, it’s just yellow snow

Sometimes you gotta hear something that you already know

Nothing’s gonna change here anytime soon

When it’s all unpredictable, I can still count on you

Looking for the mailbox with the red balloons

I’ll be late to the party, and I have an excuse

Cause no one likes breaking bad news

It’s nothing I’m wanting to do

Not anytime, anytime soon
