Correction Lyrics I Must Belong Somewhere (Companion Version) by Bright Eyes

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Leave the bright blue door on the whitewashed wall
Leave the death ledger under City Hall
Leave the joyful air in that rubber ball today

[Verse 2]
Just leave the lilac print on the linen sheet
Leave the bird you killed at your father's feet
Let the sideways rain in the crooked street remain

[Chorus]
'Cause everything it must belong somewhere
Therе's a train off in the distance, a bicycle chainеd to the stairs
Everything it must belong somewhere
I know that now, that's why I'm staying here

[Verse 3]
Leave the ocean's roar in the turquoise shell
Leave the widower in his private hell
Leave the liberty in that broken bell today

[Verse 4]
Just leave the epic poem on its yellowed page
Leave the gray macaw in his covered cage
Let the traveling band on the interstate remain

[Chorus]
'Cause everything it must belong somewhere
Sound stage in California, televisions in Times Square
Yeah, everything it must belong somewhere
I know that now, that's why I'm staying here
Yeah, I know that now, that's why I'm staying here

[Bridge]
In truth the forest hears each sound
Each blade of grass as it lies down
The world requires no audience
No witnesses, no witnesses

[Verse 5]
Just leave the novelist in his daydream tomb
Leave the scientist in her Rubik's cube
Leave the true genius in their padded room today

[Verse 6]
Just leave the hot, white trash in the shopping malls
Leave the hawks of war in their capitols
Let the organ's moan in the cathedral remain

[Chorus]
'Cause everything it must belong somewhere
They locked the Devil in the basement, threw God up into the air
Yeah, everything it must belong somewhere
I know it's true, I wish you'd leave me here
Yes, you know it's true, why don't you leave me here?
