National, The - Think You Can Wait Lyrics
I was drifting, crying
I was looking for an island
I was slipping under
I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another
I'm way off the line; think you can wait?
We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gone
We've been losing our exits one by one
I'm out of my mind; think you can wait?
I'm way off the line; think you can wait?
(all I have is all)
Think you can wait?
Did I?
(all I have is all)
Think you can wait?
What I'm thinking is simple
I'll sell apples and ice water at the temple
I won't make trouble
I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another
We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gone
We've been losing our exits one by one
I'll try.
I'll try, but I couldn't be better.
(all I have is all)
I'll try, but I couldn't be better.
(all I have is all)
I'll try, but I couldn't be better.
(all I have is all)

National, The Think You Can Wait Comments
Getting some strong Leonard Cohen vibes from this. In the best way possible! 💙
A very profound song with meaningful but also hazy lyrics. A great composition!
Where is this picture taken!?
Hauntingly beautiful even for those that can remember the pangs of youth
I was driftin'
Cryin'
I was looking for another
And I was slippin' under
I pulled the devil down with me
One way or another
I'm out of my mind
Think you can wait
I'm way off the line
Think you can wait
We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gun
We've been losing our exits one by one
I'm out of my mind
Think you can wait
I'm way off the line
Think you can wait.It out
All I have is loss
Think you can wait.It out
All I have is loss
Think you can wait
What I'm thinking is simple
I'll sell apples and ice water at the temple
And I won't make trouble
I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another
We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gun
We've been losing our exits one by one
I'll try
I'll try
But I couldn't be better
All I have is loss
I'll try
But I couldn't be better
All I have is loss
I'll try
But I couldn't be better
All I have is loss
🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Estoy harta de que todos los temas de the National sean temazos.
cabrón
Entrance part of the song is similar to Bruce Springsteen's Streets of Philidelphia. At first i thought i was listening a cover of it :)
I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another.
@ Nahaylem Ellis -- you are one seriously judgemental, eff'd-up (gender-unknown) A$$-hat!! Some-one makes a comment regarding the emotive nature of this piece & u jus had to shit all over them... What-the-hell...?? You are (likely) a: FemiNazi, a SnowFlake, Soc-Jus WHINER, or, a non-hetero idiot!! Hows it feel to to be attacked, for no-good-reason?? Geeeez!! You leftists are soooo IN-tolerant!!!
it's 2019 and i still i can wait for her ...come on, now come over
whats the title of this and on witch record? this is one for books
I never knew Walter White joined a band.
Isn't it 'holding a good night gun'?
My best National's song
drifting
I hope she hears this and allows me back into her heart... I need her. Shes my girl. Always will be.
so it is....
anyone know who the woman is who sings in this song?
Sharon Van Etten
Unfortunately, my friends are not fans of The National, however I feel like you are my people here in the comments. We all appreciate the beauty of this song. :)
Hello my friend
Darcy S your friends are dicks
The National have been by far, my fave band for over decade now, and my love for them just gets stronger year upon year.
What worries me is that as a single man, I'll never find a woman who loves (even 'like' I'd accept) them as I do.
Then and only then, I think my life will be complete.
That's how important these boys are to me... ❤
It's the only option I have.
Hmmm.... wait a minute... actually, that's not entirely true.
I can have no friends.
@Joseph Talcott Wannabe friends? 😉
Perfection
Good song, reminds me a bit to much of Springsteen Philadelphia
what movie?
WIN WIN
Win win
Picture is an Apple Records Management retreat . I purchased Apple after winning an Arb trade waterfall exposing a financial criminal organization in Lords Parliament U.K.
Stunning song. Best by The National?
in my opinion : Yes !
Sorry, no. I think my favorite is City Middle
Close but I still think About Today and 90 Mile Water Wall edge it out
About today
So.........I was at lowest point in my life and someone through me a life fest. What did I do......... I am so................so..............sorry!
*All I have is loss
Selling Apples and Ice Water at the Temple
Selling hit records at Apple Records
Ice Water is a term used to capture the notion of total gross receipts from an Album or single concert or concert series or merchandising revenue
Ohh ohhhh
Triumph when it comes
The city knows
Starlight casts its own glow
Caught in your
Conditions and tendencies
We feel you
Been here before
All of your clothes
Look down
What do you believe
Look through the door
Is it love and adore
Again and again
Beautiful faces
You know what I'm thinking
Holding hands
Flirt with these words
........
I feel warm water
Cherry street and
Gloria
Walks into your ocean
Stay a little longer
thank's for explanation - it was not easy to understand
Thank you
Great job.
ok i like this one who ones 1 one 1 ?
Why doesn't Pandora suggest me anything like this?
Pandora is shit ¦ [
It's one of the few video without unlikes, I have faith on this world again <3
@XHachimaki
Those things mean nothing anyway
+XHachimaki . Indeed !
nə gözəl mahnıdır
so beautiful
the movie is: win win @stonecrazy
I love this song especially when it starts at 3:16
I agree: perfection !
same here☺☺☺
Beautiful
if you boys will need to get ripped much faster without spending a one another minute in the gym, then you have to keep an eye on this online video COOK46.COM
I had no one to point at. Certainly not my parents, because I had nothing to accuse them of. The zeal for letting in the daylight, with which , as a member of the concentration camps seminar, I had
It's so beutiful
This pulls at my heart strings and makes me hurt where I didn't think I could hurt. <3 Beautiful doesn't begin to describe this song.
Pinche canción chingona.
3:13 is absolutely orgasmic
Right you are
That's not what understanding means dumbass, Also the world isn't fucked up. Have you traveled the world? Have you experienced anything more than what the media shows you? Three states just legalized gay marriage. On top of that, the world is a beautiful place, full of wonderful things. You're just a cynical ass-hat, that can't see past your own overly emotional selfishness. People like you need to learn how to connect with the world and people, not write it off.
If you were more understanding you would realize mistakes happen. Obviously you don't know how to be understanding.
The world is fucked up. You are ignorant. If people were a slight bit more emotional there wouldn't be wars over oil and religion and stupid arguments like the one you are trying to develop here. You clearly envy my over-emotionality or you wouldn't waste so much time telling me off for it.
I'm done arguing anyways. Keep replying if you want but I'm going to enjoy The National.
You should probably edit what you type before you post. Also, eloquence doesn't take away from pure emotion, but rather it's a refined, more experienced wording of emotion. Also, this world isn't fucked up, and there are enough varieties of love that one doesn't have to say the exact same thing as someone else to get their point across, unless they are incapable of feeling or saying it themselves. I say you're an overly-emotional twat, and should stop being so.
Ever think I just wrote what I was felt at the time and wasn't going for eloquence but pure emotion? Sure it may sound unoriginal but maybe that's cause there are a fair few people in this fucked up world who know what love feels like. If you think my comments are awful then don't read them or skip over them but this is YouTube and people have the right to phrase their sentences however they chose to. You say leave the world alone, I say someone is grouchy because they don't know what love is.
Or you could realize that your comment, as well as you and the way you love people, are not beautiful or unique. Rather, they're the complete opposite of eloquently phrased and beautifully framed originality. You, along with the other teeming masses that comment on music videos with something to the effect of: "I think of [] when I listen to []" should remove your awful comments and leave the world alone.
Oh pull your buttplug out your ass and fuck yourself.
Douche.
My favourite song by THE NATIONAL <3
145 have a good taste in music

Awesome song.
I always think of my love when this song comes up on my playlist and I stop doing everything and just sit silent with eyes closed thinking. <3
