The National - Şarkı Sözleri

The National - Never Happened
 
We look younger than we feel
and older than we are
now nobody's funny
no god, they took our fashion week
that's a real bad thing
cause we have scars to cover

now I forget how to think
so crack my skull
rearrange me

lover put me in your beautiful bed
and cover me
lover put me in your beautiful bed
 
Nothing made a sound in Williamstown that night
and all the air was empty
then what to my wondering eyes should appear
nothing, cause nothing ever happens here

now I forget how to think
so crack my skull
rearrange me

lover put me in your beautiful bed
and cover me
lover put me in your beautiful bed

nothing ever happened here
nothing ever happened here
bad things never happen to the beautiful
 
The National - Patterns Of Fairytales
 
Tonight there isn't any light under your door
I guess you must be somewhere breathing
where skin and everything still know what they are for
and blood remembers where to go

I fell in love with you no matter what you say
but you were right about the reasons
to turn a magdeline into the month of May
I shoulda known the magdeline was me
 
so I'm turning on the stereo
and I'm lining up the names
on the mixes I made before you
and I'm turning into fairytales
with glitter and some glue
everything we ever planned to ever do

tonight there isn't any light under your door
I guess you must be somewhere breathing
in patterns unfamiliar to the one you're underneath
I pinned those patterns in my coat

so I'm turning on the stereo
and I'm turning into fairytales
yes I'm turning on the stereo
and I'm turning into you
 
The National - Racing Like A Pro
 
You're pink you're young you're middle-class
they say it doesn't matter
fifteen blue shirts and womanly hands
you're shooting up the ladder

Your mind is racing like a pro, now
oh my god it doesn't mean a lot to you
one time you were a glowing young ruffian
oh my god it was a million years ago

Sometimes you get up and bake a cake or something
sometimes you stay in bed
sometimes you go la di da di da di da da
til your eyes roll back into your head

Your mind is racing like a pro, now
 
oh my god it doesn't mean a lot to you
one time you were a glowing young ruffian
oh my god it was a million years ago

you're dumbstruck baby
you're dumbstruck baby now you know
you're dumbstruck baby
you're dumbstruck baby now you know

Your mind is racing like a pro, now
oh my god it doesn't mean a lot to you
one time you were a glowing young ruffian
oh my god it was a million years ago

you're dumbstruck baby
you're dumbstruck baby now you know
you're dumbstruck baby
you're dumbstruck baby now you know
you're dumbstruck baby
 
The National - Rest Of Years
 
I'm keeping you mine
For the rest of years
For the rest of years
And your watery eyes are gonna rest someday
And your watery eyes are gonna rest someday
And your watery eyes are gonna rest someday
And your watery eyes

Tell the saint I'm gonna be a little late
Drawing bands around the river
For the rest of years

All the time that you faded away from
All the time but you faded away from me

They can't see what I can see
Tell them to wait for me
Turn everything around
I can turn everything around

They can't see what I can see
Tell them to wait for me
Turn everything around
I can turn everything around

I'll have you in my sleep
 
For the rest of Years
For the rest of Years
Turn the watery eyes trying to hear you
Turn the watery eyes trying to hear you
Turn the watery eyes trying to hear you
Turn the watery eyes trying to hear you

All the time but you faded away from
All the time but you faded away from me

They can't see what I can see
Tell them to wait for me
Turn everything around
I can turn everything around

They can't see what I can see
Tell them to wait for me
I can turn everything around
I can turn everything around

They can't see what I can see
Tell them to wait for me
I can turn everything around
I can turn everything around

All the time that you faded away from
All the time that you faded away from
All the time but you faded away from me
 
For the rest of Years
For the rest of Years
Turn the watery eyes trying to hear you
Turn the watery eyes trying to hear you
Turn the watery eyes trying to hear you
Turn the watery eyes trying to hear you

All the time but you faded away from
All the time but you faded away from me

Tell them to wait for me
Turn everything around
I can turn everything around

They can't see what I can see
Tell them to wait for me
I can turn everything around
I can turn everything around

All the time that you faded away from
All the time that you faded away from
All the time but you faded away from me
 
The National - Runaway
 
There's no savin' anything
I was swallowing the shine of the sun
There's no savin' anything
How we swallowed the sun

But I won't be no runaway
'Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway
What makes you think I'm enjoyin' being led to the flood?
We *** another thing comin' undone
And it's takin' us over

We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead lose your shirts in the fire tonight

What makes you think I'm enjoyin' being led to the flood?
We *** another thing comin' undone

But I won't be no runaway
'Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway
'Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway
What makes you think I'm enjoyin' being led to the flood?
We *** another thing comin' undone
And it's takin' us over
 
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead lose our shirts in the fire tonight

What makes you think I'm enjoyin' being led to the flood?
We *** another thing comin' undone
We *** another thing comin' undone
And it's takin' forever

I'll go bravin' anything
With you swallowing the shine of the sun
I'll go bravin' anything
Through the shine of the sun

But I won't be no runaway
'Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway
'Cause I won't run
No, I won't be no runaway
What makes you think I'm enjoyin' being led to the flood?
We *** another thing comin' undone
And it's takin' us over

We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead throw your arms in the air tonight
We don't bleed when we don't fight
Go ahead, go ahead lose our shirts in the fire tonight

What makes you think I'm enjoyin' being led to the flood?
We *** another thing coming undone
We *** another thing coming undone
And it's takin' us over
And it's taking forever
 
The National - Santa Clara
 
I don't worry anymore
Nothing like I did before
I don't worry
I just watch them rolling back
I don't worry anymore
'Cause it's all right, all right to see a ghost
And I wanna see 'em go down in the river where they go
And I wanna see 'em rolling, rolling back
And I wanna see 'em go
'Cause it's all right, all right to see your ghost

I'm gonna run to the river
Kiss my hand and wait
Gonna run to the river
Gonna throw a blue bouquet
'Cause they're gonna be cool happy genius heroes
I'm gonna miss 'em so much

I will settle in and dream
 
Of a slow and funny scene
I will settle in and watch 'em rolling back
I will settle in and dream
'Cause it's all right, all right to see a ghost
And I wanna see 'em go down in the river where they go
And I wanna see 'em rolling, rolling back

I'm gonna run to the river
Kiss my hand and wait
Gonna run to the river
Gonna throw a blue bouquet
'Cause they're gonna be cool happy genius heroes
I'm gonna miss them so much

I'm gonna run to the river
Kiss my hand and wait
Gonna run to the river
Gonna send 'em on their way
'Cause they're gonna be cool happy genius heroes
I'm gonna miss them so much

Yeah, they're gonna be cool happy genius heroes
I'm gonna miss 'em so much
