Devil in The Details Lyrics
Bright Eyes
A house of cards
A supple heart
Is not a place to dwell
Now you have your cake
Don't hesitate
Come on, just do it
Come on, just do it
Put it in your mouth
There is only now
Tomorrow has to wait
But know there's no backing out
This is gonna be reality
You can never dream it down
I have - no way
Of telling - the two - apart
Well I made amends
In the general sense
But the devil's in the details
And I know the cost
And I wanna stop
But I can't do it
I just can't do it
There was love I meant
There were accidents
So tell me which is which
Cause I just can't work it out
But for memory and clarity
We had better write it down
I have - no way
Of knowing - the truth - with time it dissolves
I put the past into the ground
I saw the future as a cloud
If there's still time to turn around
I'm going to
It's just one day I fell asleep
And now all day I'm not a dream
I am the first one I deceive
If I can make myself believe
The rest is easy
