The National

I Need My Girl

1. I am good, I am grounded

Davy says that I look taller

I can’t get my head around it

I keep feeling smaller and smaller

I need my girl

I need my girl

2. Remember when you lost your shit and

Drove the car into the garden

You got out and said I’m sorry

To the vines and no one saw it

I need my girl

I need my girl

R: I’m under the gun again

I know I was a 45 percenter then

I know I was a lot of things

3. But I am good, I am grounded

Davy says that I look taller

I can’t get my head around it

I keep feeling smaller and smaller

I need my girl

I need my girl

4. There’s some things that I should never

Laugh about in front of family

In a week we’ll be together

Try to call you when I’m landed

I need my girl

I need my girl

5. Remember when you said I’m sorry

To the vines and no one saw it

I’ll try to call you from the party

It’s full of punks and cannonballers

I need my girl

I need my girl

R: I’m under...

But I am good, I am grounded

Davy says that I look taller

I can’t get my head around it

I keep feeling smaller and smaller

I need my girl

I keep feeling smaller and smaller

I need my girl

I keep feeling smaller and smaller
