Zigzagging Toward The Light Lyrics & Chords By Conor Oberst

I'm blessed with a heart that doesn't stop
My minds a weathervane it spins around just like a top
Knows what the winds of fortune bring
In the season of the witch
Home is a perjury, a parlor trick, an urban myth

Oh, how the circumstances change (oh)
This world is smoke and steam
Compromise and metermaids
I'm going to leave here before too long (oh)
Zigzagging toward the light
I'm off to sing my boundless song

True love, it hides like city stars
Nothing to gaze upon or contemplate
How near or far
If it comes, it comes quite unannounced
A momentary glance lit up by sun or moon
Or bonfire or ambulance

Oh, how the circumstances change (oh)
Feels unmistakable
With no idea from where it came
But you will know it when it's gone (oh)
Zigzagging through the night
I've heard you sing your boundless song

How did you sing the boundless song?
How did you sing? How did you sing?

Sing for the founders
His word is never kept
A bindle of flowers
To state his mind and bloom when he forgets

It's true that shadows tell the time
On sunny afternoons
On crowded sidewalks, passersby
I'm in a queue that stretches out
Far as the eye can see
It forms a figure eight and goes on for eternity

Oh how the circumstances change (oh)
I fly by interstate
Across a purple mountain range
I find a place to come undone (oh)
Zigzagging toward you now
I sing out loud our boundless song

Uh oh, uh oh, a boundless song
Uh oh, uh oh, a boundless song
Uh oh, uh oh, a boundless song
Uh oh, uh oh, a boundless song
