the national - conversation 16

it’s a Hollywood summer / you never believe the shitty thoughts I think / meet our friends out for dinner / when I said what I said I didn’t mean anything / we belong in a movie / try to hold it together ‘til our friends are gone / we should swim in a fountain / do not want to disappoint anyone

I’m a confident liar / had my head in the oven so you’d know where I’ll be / I’ll try to be more romantic / I want to believe in everything you believe / I was less than amazing / do not know what all the troubles are for / I fall asleep in your branches / you’re the only thing I ever want anymore

now we’ll leave the silver city ‘cause all the silver girls gave us black dreams
leave the silver city to all the silver girls, everything means everything

the national - terrible love

it’s a terrible love and I’m walking with spiders / it’s a terrible love that I’m walking with / it’s quiet company / it’s quiet company / it’s quiet company

and I can’t fall asleep / without a little help / it takes a while / to settle down / my ship of hopes / wait til the past lets by

it takes an ocean not to break
