The National

I Should Live in Salt

1. Don't make me read your mind

You should know me better than that

It takes me too much time

You should know me better than that

You're not that much like me

You should know me better than that

We have different enemies

You should know me better than that

R: I should leave it alone but you're not right

I should leave it alone but you're not right

2. Can't you write it on the wall?

You should know me better than that

There's no room to write it all

You should know me better than that

Can you turn the TV down?

You should know me better than that

There's too much crying in the sound

I should know you better than that

R: I should leave it...

I should live in salt for leaving you behind

Behind

3. Think about something so much

You should know me better than that

Start to slide out of touch

You should know me better than that

Tell yourself it's all you know

You should know me better than that

Learn to appreciate the void

You should know me better than that

R: I should live in salt for leaving you behind

Behind

I should live in salt for leaving you behind

Behind

I should live in salt for leaving you behind

Behind
