National, The - The Perfect Song Lyrics






Ten years older than I was
What I brought you down to see,
What I thought would make you fall in love

Wearing off on our dreams
Someday man I'm gonna be no different than the other rivers
I tried to look at you but I couldnt break the ice
You stood out there for an hour freezing
Put your hand around my back
I guess you thought I needed that

I never try to find you
I hope you don't remember me
I hope you're not alone

Wanted me to take you home
You said you'd rather be alone
I never thought of that
Car is warm and we had wine
But I couldn't find the perfect song

Now our furniture for the one with crows feet and I can't even remember the call
Sometimes I can feel your weight when I close my eyes
Seven times I was under you

I never try to find you
I hope you dont remember me
I hope your not alone
I don't wanna know what your thinking
I'm looking out the window
Just fucking drinking

Shallow frame and shaky sticks but I know there's a river in me
Shallow minded adult tricks but I know there's a river in me

    Yep.  The Perfect Song

  8. C.... M....

    I have to say, their first album is one of my favorites. Oh wait it's The National, all of their albums are amazing!

    C.... M....

    hello
    open bobs

  9. c.... m....

    I think he might mean the song in itself as opposed to the band as a whole, of course the band is ever reaching new heights but these older songs do get a bit overlooked

  10. c.... m....

    I keep hearing stephen malkmus and i don't know why

    c.... m....

    They are big Pavement fans! Their first band "Nancy" apparently was influenced by them a lot, & there's even a name drop in the national song "So Far Around The Bend"

  11. f.... ....

    The Rains of Castamere is the perfect song

  12. C.... ....

    How does this song make me feel??

  13. S.... ....

    4 Dislike: Nicki Minaj, some Electro DJ, Katy Perry and someone who don't appreciate great music.
    They all don't know what's real music, and how much this band is great

  14. v.... ....

    this is so cool

  15. A.... C....

    i hope you dont remember me and i hope you're not alone

  16. M.... Y....

    this song sucks..

    M.... Y....

    you suck

  17. x.... ....

    Ohhhh I love this.
