Which Bright Eyes song are you?

It takes a while for me to fall in love or settle into a relationship but when I do it's lovely and intimate and understated.

I've always had friends but my romantic entanglements have always been tumultuous. I love very intensely and also find it hard to settle.

I don't keep relationships and I don't fall in love. Doing that is an easy way to get hurt.

I like to be in a relationship so I don't have to be lonely.

Love and other people is the meaning of life.

I'm eager to have all experiences I can, so falling in love is both scary and exciting for me.

a blanket, an alarm clock, a jar full of sea glass, a broken shell and a map.

a whiskey glass, an electric clock, a record player, a cigarette and a sweater.

a cotton pillow, a lampshade, a writing pad and pen, and a music box.

a flower pot, a wristwatch, a telephone, a stack of paper and a camera.

a mirror, the blueprints of some buildings, a picnic rug, a picture frame and a fruit bowl.

a pharmaceutical bottle, a library book, a matchbox, a snowglobe and a photo album.

Falling prey to low moods and depression.

Drugs.

Drinking.

Casual sex.

Sleeplessness or too much sleep, and bad sleep.

Too much worrying and anxiety.

I'd rather be working for a paycheck than waiting to win the lottery.

I did my best to keep my head.

Something frightened me and since then I've been so good at vanishing.

I'm wide awake, it's morning.

Everytime you feel like crying I'm gonna try and make you laugh.

I'm happy just because I've found out I am really no one.

They would say that I am gentle and loving.

They would call me intense and intelligent.

They would call me charming and confident.

They would call me creative and thoughtful.

They would call me compassionate and introspective.

I really don't know who I am to other people or even to myself.

They would call me lacklustre and timid.

They would call me reckless and self-destructive.

They would call me promiscuous and unemotional.

They would call me oversensitive and needy.

They would call me crazy.

I try not to think too much about it.

Stuck between the past and future, somewhere or nowhere in between.

In a dream that I soon won't be able to remember.

In a stranger's car.

At a crossroads trying to figure out which one to take.

At a desk, writing all night until morning comes.

In an aeroplane over the sea, looking down on the tiny city below.

To figure out what I love and pursue it, even if it takes time.

To escape my past. To quit bad habits.

To not let myself get too attached to anyone or anything. To learn from my mistakes.

To keep a record of all my rushing thoughts. To enjoy myself.

To spend each day differently and meet new people.

To figure out what I want life to mean. To be happy.

Being able to be myself and be loved for that.

Freedom. Escape from the past.

Self-protection and preservation. And learning from experience.

Happiness and creativity.

Other people. Helping out and giving back.

Knowledge, retrospect and honesty.

You can always be surprised, you can expect good things if you hope, and love if you are loving

It all seems very complex and sometimes just painful or hard to look at, but in actuality, the fact we are alive in itself is a beautiful th

Life seems to be about what people can get from one another. It's dangerous to care too much for anything because it's likely you'll get hur

Life is unfinished and full of promise.

Things and people only mean as much and matter as much as we want them to, because we are all so insignificant really.

Life is about experience and what you gain from your experience and what and who you grow into from the path in your past.

I was too late to realise that it was right.

I had other messed up priorities.

I just left. I felt slightly empty but also liberated.

I was high-maintenance and needed more than they could give me. I know now that I can't rely on any partner to fill that void.

It was mutual and amicable. We both decided to go on and live our lives, just not together. C'est la vie.

I couldn't make promises I wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep.

A blanket on the beach.

A hooded sweatshirt walk.

A song tied to a melody.

A sun coming up with no conclusion.

The rain tapping on the window near my bed.

A birthday party. My birthday party.
