Exception to the Rule

[Verse 1: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

You need an occupation

To warrant a vacation

Without anticipation

Nothing's satisfactory

I came out here to check out

Get away from my house

Now I don't leave this couch

Or turn off the TV

[Chorus: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

There's always an exemption

There's always an exception to the rule

Always an exemption

There's always an exception to the rule

Why don't you want it?

Why don't you want it anymore?

Why don't you want it?

Why don't you want it anymore?

[Verse 2: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

I wanted to avoid it

Live out in the forest

Stay out of that orbit

Go drifting out to sea

But fate just wouldn't have it

The street just like a magnet

Mends my broken habits

And makes a fool of me

[Chorus: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

There's always an exemption

There's always an exception to the rule

Always an exemption

There's always an exception to the rule

Why don't you want it?

Why don't you want it anymore?

Why don't you want it?

Why don't you want it anymore?

[Bridge: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

Nice sentiment

Not this again

Quit tapping on my window (Back in just a minute)

Won't let you in

I'm not listening

'Cause I know where that talk goes

[Chorus: Conor Oberst & Phoebe Bridgers]

And I don't want it

And I don't want it anymore

And I don't want it

And I don't want it anymore
