The National - Trouble Will Find Me

The National - Demons



Lyrics:

When I think of you in the city,
The sight of you among the sites.
I get this sudden sinking feeling,
Of a man about to fly.
Never kept me up before,
Now I’ve been awake for days.
I can’t fight it anymore,
I’m going through an awkward phase.
I am secretly in love with,
Everyone that I grew up with.
Do my crying underwater,
I can’t get down any farther.
All my drowning friends can see,
Now there is no running from it.
It’s become the crux of me,
I wish that I could rise above it.

But I stay down,
With my demons.
But I stay down,
With my demons

Passing buzzards in the sky,
Alligators in the sewers.
I don’t even wonder why,
Hide among the under views.
Huddle with them all night long,
The worried talk to god goes on.
I sincerely tried to love it,
Wish that I could rise above it.

But I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons
I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons
I stay down,
With my demons

Can I stay here? I can sleep
On the floor
paint the blood and hang the palms,
On the door.
Do not think I’m going places anymore,
Wanna see the sun come up above New York.
Oh, everyday I start so great,
Then the sunlight dips.
Less I’ve learned,
The more I see the pythons and the limbs.
Do not know what’s wrong with me,
Sours in the cup.
When I walk into a room,
I do not light it up.
Fuck.

So I stay down,
With my demons
I stay down,
With my demons
I stay down,
With my demons
I stay down,
With my demons


The National - Don't Swallow the Cap



Lyrics:

Pull out brakes behind the houses
I don't see what's strange about this
Tiny bubbles hang above me
It's a sign that someone loves me
I can hardly stand upright
Hit my head up on the light
I have faith but don't believe you
This love ain't enough to leave you

Everything I love is on the table
Everything I love is out to sea

I have only two emotions
Careful fear and dead devotion
I can't get the balance right
Throw my marbles in the fight
I see all the ones I wept for
All the things I had it in for
I won't cry until I hear
Cause I was not supposed to be here

Everything I love is on the table
Everything I love is out to sea

I'm not alone
I'll never be
Into the bone
I'll never grieve

I'm tired, I'm freezing, I'm dumb
When it gets so late I forget everyone.=
I need somewhere to stay
Don't think anybody I know is awake
Calm down, it's alright
Keep my arms the rest of the night
When they ask what do I see
I see a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me

And if you want, too seriously
To see me cry
Don't swallow the cap
Play "Let It Be"
Pat yourself on the back
Or "Nevermind"
Too seriously

There's a time to leave, there's a time to think about
What I wanna say to the girls at the door
I need somewhere to be
But I can't get around the river in front of me
Come down, it's alright
Lead my arms the rest of the night
When they ask what do I see
I see a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me

I'm not alone, too seriously
I'll never be
Don't swallow the cap
Into the bone, pat yourself on the back
I'll never grieve, too seriously
And if you want, too seriously
To see me cry, don't swallow the cap
Play "Let It Be"
Pat yourself on the back
Or "Nevermind"
Too seriously


The National unveil - I Need My Girl



Lyrics:

I am good and I am grounded
Davy says that I look taller
I can’t get my head around it
I keep feeling smaller and smaller

I need my girl

Remember when you lost your shit
And drove the car into the garden
You got out and said I’m sorry
To the vines and no one saw it

I need my girl

I’m under the gun again
I know I was a 45 percenter then
I know I was a lot of things
But I am good and I am grounded
Davy says that I look taller
I can’t get my head around it
I keep feeling smaller and smaller

I need my girl

There’s some things that I should never
Laugh about in front of family
In a week we’ll be together
I’ll try to call you when I’m landing

I need my girl

Remember when you said I’m sorry
To the vines and no one saw it
I’ll try to call you from the party
It’s full of punks and cannonballers

I need my girl

I’m under the gun again
I know i was a 45 percenter then
I know i was a lot of things
But i am good and I am grounded
Davy says that I look taller
I can’t get my head around it
I keep feeling smaller and smaller

I need my girl
I keep feeling smaller and smaller
