"Cairns (When Your Heart Belongs To Everyone)" lyrics

Bright Eyes Lyrics

"Cairns (When Your Heart Belongs To Everyone)"

If your heart goes out to everyone
You're a flower shop in June
If your heart goes out to everyone
You know the pain comes with it too

If your heart goes out to everyone
You're just footprints on the moon
If your heart goes out to everyone
You're a corner store that's out of booze

If your heart belongs to everyone
You're a painting in a cave
If your heart belongs to everyone
You're on a dead cellphone, in the freezing cold
Just waiting for the train

Carrying cairns on the trail
In case I don't come back
So you can find my tracks
And come after me

When your heart goes out to everyone
You have to mop the halls at the hospital
'Cause you're the only one who cares

Carrying cairns on the trail
If I don't come back
So you can find my tracks
And come after me
