The National - Don't Swallow The Cap lyrics

rate me

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 upon 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 ...

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 ...

Pat yourself on the back

Or nevermind

Too seriously
