A Perfect Sonnet Lyrics
Artist(Band):Bright Eyes
Review The Song (20)Print the Lyrics
Lately I've been wishing I had one desire
something that would make me never want another
something that would make it so that nothing matters
all would be clear then

but I guess i'll have to settle for a few brief moments
and watch it all dissolve into a single second
try to write it down into a perfect sonnet
or one foolish line

'cause that's all that you'll get so you'll have to accept
you are here then you're gone
but i believe that lovers should be tied together
thrown into the ocean in the worst of weather
left there to drown
left there to drown
in their innocence

but as for me i'm coming to the final chapter
i read all of the pages and there's still no answer
only all that was before i know must soon come after
that's the only way it can be

so I stand in the sun
and I breathe with my lungs
trying to spare me the weight of the truth
saying everything you've ever seen was just a mirror
spent your whole life sweating in an endless fever
now you're laying in a bathtub full of freezing water
wishing you were a ghost

but once you knew a girl and you named her lover
danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer
autumn came, she disappeared
you can't remember where she said she was going to

but you know that she is gone 'cause she left you a song
that you don't want to sing
singing I believe that lovers should be chained together
thrown into a fire with their songs and letters
left there to burn
left there to burn
in their arrogance
but as for me i'm coming to my final failure
killed myself with changes trying to make things better
ended up becoming something other than what I had planned to be

now i believe that lovers should be draped in flowers
and layed entwined together on a bed of clover
left there to sleep
left there to dream of their happiness

Review about A Perfect Sonnet

amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/24/2008
    like really, thanks to a great friend, I heard this song, and it could possibly have saved my life, I was pretty much ready to give up and she told me about this song... and... ya... now I don't wanna give up anymore



    chaos is a friend of mine | Reviewer: smile | 2/15/2008

    Yeah, the chick underneath me has it right.
    It's not a sonnet, no. Although he mentions into the song that he wants to write one.

    Everyone who's freaking out and is thinking they know music better then conor oberst should headbutt a bullet.
    Just enjoy his music.



    Ummm Duuuh! | Reviewer: Mily | 2/13/2008

    Of course the song isnt a sonnet! its called Perfect Sonnet and it uses the name in the song

    "but I guess i'll have to settle for a few brief moments
    and watch it all dissolve into a single second
    try to write it down into a perfect sonnet
    or one foolish line"

    so the song is not supposed to be a sonnet,its saying that he'll try to make everything into a perfect sonnet, learn songs!



    not a perfect sonnet | Reviewer: kehly | 1/31/2008

    apologies, i adore conor oberst...but this is not a sonnet.
    A sonnet is a poem almost invariably of 14 lines and following one of several set shymed schemes. Also, always about an unattainable love...I think it would have been cool to compose the song in the frame work of a sonnet...



    Bright Eyes - A Perfect Sonnet | Reviewer: zoe | 1/30/2008

    I think this song is brilliant, the pace, the tone, the lyrics all fit beautifully. I love his voice because its so honest. This was the second Bright Eyes song i ever heard (the first being: no lies, just love) and it is now up there in my top 5 favourites :)



    conor oberst is awesome but elliott smith is better | Reviewer: John | 12/6/2007

    thats just my opinion, I mean I just feel elliott smith had more meaning within his songs and his songs are more depressing than anything I have ever heard in my life.. but keep rockin bright eyes love the music man..Peace



    AMAZING. | Reviewer: alanna mabry | 11/3/2007

    this song is...amazing. everything about bright eyes is amazing. this song is one of the most beautiful, honest songs ive ever heard. conor oberst is my hero. his voice is simply spectacular and his lyrics are breathtaking...there are no words to describe how much i love bright eyes.



    Yeah. | Reviewer: Kolte | 9/20/2007

    I remember, long ago, sitting in the back seat of my brothers car, and hearing the calender hung itself, from fevers and mirrors, on a C.D. mix in 2001. Later that month, I had become an addict of the music. And Still I have not been let down by this band. They capture everything from the instrumentals to the lyrical poetry. This song, a perfect sonnet, is defensibly one of the top 10 Bright Eyes songs. Enjoy.



    boubb | Reviewer: jk | 9/11/2007

    some of you said the voice is awful ... I think the voice is brilliant , it's just like he would try to stop himself from crying ... and it fits perfectly



    wow | Reviewer: Eliazavita Svetlanosch | 8/26/2007

    This is one of my favorite songs from conor. He goes against the grain with his singing voice, and concentrates more on what he's singing than on how he sings. And his songs make you think, like a poetic genius would. but most of all, his songs are real.there are real feelings, and real lyrics, and real effort thats almost humbling to listen to. love it
