I built a time machine, went back to '99told Kimya Dawson "don't cry.That writing you wrote where you lost your pet turtle brought surprising tears to my eyes.And I know that animals and people keep dyingand disloyal friends and addictions are trying.But one day your ears will be filled with sad kidssinging the songs of the things that you didand there's a million more reasons why you ought to live.Oh don't you realize how special you are?Why don't you realize how special you are?"Then I went to Omaha, March '97to tell Conor Oberst that he'd be okay.I said "don't take those pills, though your songs give me chillsthere are far bigger reasons why you need to stay.And I know you feel as if you don't belongand I know what its like when the chords sound all wrong.But one day your ears will be filled with sad kidssinging the songs of the things that you didand there's a million more reasons why you ought to live.Oh don't you realize how special you are?Why don't you realize how special you are?"I'm just a sad kid composing sad songsabout my favorite singers when their lives went wrong.The same old three chords played with such unskilled handsLetras de cancionesand words that I know the world won't understand.But just then a strange kid appeared in my bedroomwho smiled and said "I've got something to tell you."They said "you don't know me, but when I'm hurt you hold me.You probably think that's silly, or you hear it everyday.In my anxiety you calm me, we have sat together sobbingyou're everything I wish to be.Its your voice that saved me, I think of you dailyand someday someone will say this to me.And one day your ears will be filled with sad kidssinging the songs of the things that you didand there's a million more reasons why you ought to live.Oh don't you realize how special you are?Why don't you realize how special you are?"Its just C, A minor, C, Fwhatever you do try and do it your best.And strive to console and be good and be honestand one day the crushed thing might lift from your chest.And oh don't you realize how special you are?Why don't you realize how special you are?How smart and how lovelyhow sensitive and comfortinghow precious and priceless and special you are.
