I really love this song!!!
Background to the song:
When Sabrina Duim also called Breezy, died in 2007, from complications involving medication during her senior year at Stanford University, she was already an accomplished harpist. She toured as part of Conor Oberst’s band; recorded parts for several songs on Digital Ash In A Digital Urn; and played with Rilo Kiley, Feist, and Johnathan Rice, among others. Oberst dedicated his 2007 album, Cassadaga, to her memory, but in the run-up to his solo recordings in 2008, he wrote “Breezy,” titled after Sabrina’s nickname, that appeared both on the Gentleman’s Pact EP and attached to subsequent Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band releases. In the solo piano lament, the lyrics are full of haunting images of a young woman who achieved so much at a young age and betray that Oberst’s relationship to Duim may have been closer than that of just bandmates. The most striking image is of Duim, a math major, trying to teach Oberst about baseball through her love of statistics. Oberst sings, “My favorite was the part when they make it home / I like it when they steal, and when they make it home.”
 
Lyrics:
Move your slender fingers
Help me play this song
Spend another night inside this rented mansion
I love you now
I know that doesn't matter
I love you now
I know that doesn't matter

Kissing me full of beer, tequila, weed, and candy
Walking down the boardwalk
Act like we were married
You always made it easy
Then I'd want you more
You always kept it easy
Then I'd want you more

Too smart for your own good
Too sweet, too logical
Statistics round your head
Tried to teach me about baseball
My favorite was the part when they make it home
I like it when they steal, and when they make it home

You left us with a sorrow too unreal to help
Heard the birds sound broadcast speakers at the Phoenix hotel
All your friends are standing, crying, on the sidewalk
All your boyfriends, they were standing crying on the sidewalk

Breezy, I feel dizzy
Can you help me up?
It's crowded at the back door
How we getting to the bus?
I'd like to help you find it if there's something better
Yeah, I'll try and help you find it if there's something better

Move your slender fingers
Help me play this song
Spend another night inside this practice mansion
I love you now
I know that's all that matters
I love you now
And I know that's all that matters
Till top
