Sleep Well Beast - The National

We’ve been stuck out here in the hallway for way way too long

I’m at a loss, I’m at a loss, losing grip, the fabrics rip

Go back to sleep, let me drive, let me think, let me figure it out

How to get us back to the place where we were when we first went out

I’ll tell you about it some time, the time we left

I’ll tell you about it some time, the time we left

Losing parents, losing sense

I don’t know what we should do

Became a father when I was still a son, she brings it out in you

See you at the end of the party with your wild, wide eyes

Filling up the teacup with gin and your secret postcard life

I’ll tell you about it some time, the time we left

I’ll tell you about it some time, the time we left

I’ll tell you about it some time, the time we left

I’ll tell you about it some time, the time we left

We’ll leave our saviors wrapped around immense new machines

We’re at the ends of threads that hold their bodies to the ground

And then a man who looks a little and liked and felt like me

Offered them some bottled water, then they cut them down

I came back to see if you were here, but everything was different

Your voice was low, blended in, I could barely hear you speak

You were always my last second, last ride in the distance

Thought that we were something good

That I would always keep

I’ll still destroy you some day, sleep well beast, you as well beast

I’ll still destroy you some day, sleep well beast, you as well beast

I’ll still destroy you some day, sleep well beast, you as well beast

I’ll still destroy you some day, sleep well beast, you as well beast
