Don't Swallow The Cap

The National

Intro: Dull light breaks behind the houses I don't see what's strange about this Tiny bubbles hang above me It's a sign that someone loves me I can hardly stand upright Hit my head upon the light I have faith but don't believe it It's not there enough to leave it Everything I love is on the table Everything I love is out to sea I have only two emotions Careful fear and dead devotion. I can't get the balance right. Throw all my marbles in the fire. I see all the ones I wept for All the things I had it in for I won't cry until I hear Cause I was not supposed to be here. Everything I love is on the table Everything I love is out to sea I'm not alone I'll never be Into the bone I'll never grieve I'm tired, I'm freezing, I'm done When it gets so late I forget everyone I need somewhere to stay Don't think anybody I know is awake Calm down it's alright Keep my arms the rest of the night When they ask what do I see I say a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me I'm not alone I'll never be Into the bone I'll never grieve And if you want (dead seriously) To see me cry (don't swallow the cap) Play 'Let It Be (pat yourself on the back) Or 'Nevermind' (dead seriously) Is it time to leave' Is it time to think about What I wanna say to the girls at the door' I need somewhere to be But I can't get around the river in front of me Calm down it's alright Lead my arms the rest of the night When they ask what do I see I say a bright white beautiful heaven hangin' over me Interlude: I'm not alone (dead seriously) I'll never be (don't swallow the cap) Into the bones (pat yourself on the back) I'll never grieve (dead seriously) And if you want (dead seriously) To see me cry (don't swallow the cap) Play 'Let It Be' (pat yourself on the back) Or 'Nevermind' (dead seriously) Outro: (endlessly)
