A Perfect Sonnet Lyrics
Artist(Band):Bright Eyes
Review The Song (28)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

gdhe | Reviewer: cory | 5/24/09

first of all a perfect sonnet and one foolish line. he's not refering to the song it's self. he's talking about life and love in general and how it's so brief.

also this song has dual meaning. it seems to be about religion just as much as it love. he writes songs about his struggle with faith aswell.



amasing | Reviewer: Molly | 3/25/09

this is amasing i love the song it changed my way on looking at love. i was so close to just giving up on the one i love and i listened to this, it savec my life. were still not together but i wont give up hes perfect and this song showed me it



a perfect song for the broken hearts to mend | Reviewer: Kobi | 12/24/08

yes its not a sonnet and he probaly didnt intend it for being a sonnet. but if it was or not isnt the point its how true his song is, how true he is, his feelings twards love, and how you grasp the true meaning behind the song. its a beautiful song. my ex-girlfriend likes this song so i decided i would listen to it so i did. first on itunes. he sounded like a tone def frog but when i got the song i listened to it over and over and i got the meaning of it and over that peirod of time i got to like it.

LOVELY!!!!!!!!!!!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/18/08

It's not supossed to be perfect! It's not supossed to be a sonnet!
It's a contradiction and that's why it's beautiful. Okay if you didn't know that you should really start to question why you even like this song because you'd be missing the entire meaning and depth.

Conor is brilliant, eberything fits so perfectly it's unreal. Only he can make you feel a thousand emotions with his music. I simply am glad I have found his music, I am honored..and thankful. His music and lyrics express parts in all of us, sad, ironic, disturbed, nostalgic..everything, just lovely.



Brilliant | Reviewer: julia | 11/19/08

This song is so touching and means so much. Feelings that I could not put into words, Connor Oberst can. He is truly amazing. He really has a fascinating way of thinking.
Great song. So are all the others. :)



Greatness | Reviewer: Lerto | 11/16/08

I adore this song. It is just awesome. I can´t stop hearing it, but I prefer Saturday as Usual though. Connor Oberst is just a genius, and I cannot stop looking at his incredibly deep lyrics. I mean, he has got really poetic phrases.
I love Bright Eyes



!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/28/08

I think it has more sense if it's not a perfect sonnet because he's trying to say that love is not PERFECT!! so, if he would write a perfect sonnet he would be talking about "the fairytales love", but its not like that in reality, so "its a foolish line!"



to the douche bag who said not a perfect sonnet | Reviewer: Grant | 9/18/08

it's part of the song's meaning that it's not. it wouldn't make sense if it was a perfect sonnet. ooh good for you, you know about iambic pentameter with 14 lines. super. but the point is, people think and dream of love as a thing that can be perfect, but as the songly clearly demonstrates, it's a sad and flawed thing, with much beauty, and much passion, hence our dreams.... so a song Called perfect sonnet, that is not a perfect sonnet.. but still a great fuckign song. get it?
awesome.



amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/24/08

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 | 2/15/08

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.
