The Perfect Song - The National

Ten years older than I was

What I brought you down to see,

What I thought would make you fall in love

Wearing off on our dreams

Someday man I’m gonna be no different than the other rivers

I tried to look at you but I couldnt break the ice

You stood out there for an hour freezing

Put your hand around my back

I guess you thought I needed that

I never try to find you

I hope you don’t remember me

I hope you’re not alone

Wanted me to take you home

You said you’d rather be alone

I never thought of that

Car is warm and we had wine

But I couldn’t find the perfect song

Now our furniture for the one with crows feet and I can’t even remember the call

Sometimes I can feel your weight when I close my eyes

Seven times I was under you

I never try to find you

I hope you dont remember me

I hope your not alone

I don’t wanna know what your thinking

I’m looking out the window

Just fucking drinking

Shallow frame and shaky sticks but I know there’s a river in me

Shallow minded adult tricks but I know there’s a river in me
