The National — Apartment Story lyrics

Lyrics

Be still for a second while I try and try to pin your flowers on Can you carry my drink?
I have everything else, I can tie my tie all by myself
I’m getting tired, I’m forgetting why
Oh, we’re so disarming, darling, everything we did believe
Is diving, diving, diving, diving off the balcony
Tired and wired, we ruin too easy
Sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave
Hold ourselves together with our arms around the stereo for hours
While it sings to itself or whatever it does
When it sings to itself of its long lost loves
I’m getting tied, I’m forgetting why
Tired and wired, we ruin too easy
Sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave
But I’ll be with you behind the couch when they come
On a different day just like this one
We’ll stay inside 'till somebody finds us, do whatever the TV tells us Stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz for days
We’ll stay inside 'till somebody finds us, do whatever the TV tells us Stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz
So worry not
All things are well
We’ll be alright
We have our looks and perfume
Stay inside 'till somebody finds us Do whatever the TV tells us Stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz
So worry not
All things are well
We’ll be alright
We have our looks and perfume on
