Lyrics The National

The National

I'll Still Destroy You

It's so easy to set off

The molecules and the caplets

They all have something against me

Nothing I do makes me feel different

This one's like your sister's best friends in her bed calling me to join them

Can't avoid them

This one's like your mother's arms when she was young and sunburnt in the '80s

Lasts forever

The more level they have me

The more I cannot stand me

I have helpless friendship

And bad taste in liquids

This one's like the wilderness, without the world I'm gonna miss those longs nights, the windows open

I keep re-reading the same lines always up at 5am every morning

Like a baby

It's just the lights coming on

It's just the lights coming on

I have no positions

No point of view or vision

I'm just trying to stay in touch with anything I'm still in touch with

The sky's getting whiter

I can't find a liner anywhere I'm going crazy

I'm not crazy

Put your heels against the wall

I swear you got a little bit taller since I saw you, I'll still destroy you

It's just the lights coming on

It's just the lights coming on
