Lyrics The National

The National

Ada

Ada, don't talk about reasons why you don't want to talk

About reasons why you don't wanna talk

Now that you got everybody you consider sharp

All alone, all together, all together in the dark

Leave it all up in the air

Leave it all up in the air

Leave it all up in the air

Ada, put the sounds of your house in a song

Try to be speechless for a minute

If you think you're gonna faint, go out in the hallway

Let them all have your neck

Ada, don't stay in the lake too long

It lives alone and it barely knows you

It'll have a nervous breakdown and fall

Into a thousand pieces around you

Stand inside an empty tuxedo with grapes in my mouth

Waiting for Ada

Ada, hold onto yourself by the sleeves

I think everything counts a little more than we think

Leave it all up in the air

Leave it all up in the air

Leave it all up in the air

Ada, Ada, Ada, Ada

Ada, I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall

Ada, don't talk about reasons why you don't want to talk

About reasons why you don't wanna talk

Now that you got everybody you consider sharp

All alone, all together, all together in the dark

Leave it all up in the air

Leave it all up in the air

Leave it all up in the air

Ada, Ada, Ada, Ada

Ada I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall

Ada, Ada, Ada, Ada

Ada, I've been hoping you know your way 'round
