Lyrics
0:33I know on paper I seem appealing
0:40That's misleading
0:44That's misleading
0:50I have this cigarette I've been concealing
0:56I don't smoke it 'cause I know I'd die
1:01I just hold it in the fading light
1:06So anyone who passes might think that
1:13I'm more interesting than I am
1:18I do have left behind some autre band
1:23To make something far more revealing
1:30Like in a basic sense
1:37So live with me won't you
1:41Dreams they could come true
1:44If panic and worry
1:48Are dreams that you would choose
1:55We'd spend our nights listening to the national
2:02That was special
2:06Even though your car was small
2:11You said your favourite song
2:13Was the one about death
2:18I said every single one's like that
2:22In fact there's literally nothing left
2:27You said bound to be hits the ceiling
2:34Now we are exactly where we are
2:38Between the greatest and the lost on Mars
2:44All I know is I need to see you
2:50Need to see you
2:57So live with me won't you
3:01Dreams they could come true
3:05If panic and worry
3:09Are dreams that you would choose
3:13Erratic emotion
3:16Endless devotion
3:20Visible ageing
3:24Chronic impatience
3:27I'm working on
I know on paper I seem appealing That's misleading That's misleading I have this cigarette I've been concealing I don't smoke it 'cause I know I'd die I just hold it in the fading light So anyone who passes might think that I'm more interesting than I am I do have left behind some autre band To make something far more revealing Like in a basic sense So live with me won't you Dreams they could come true If panic and worry Are dreams that you would choose We'd spend our nights listening to the national That was special Even though your car was small You said your favourite song Was the one about death I said every single one's like that In fact there's literally nothing left You said bound to be hits the ceiling Now we are exactly where we are Between the greatest and the lost on Mars All I know is I need to see you Need to see you So live with me won't you Dreams they could come true If panic and worry Are dreams that you would choose Erratic emotion Endless devotion Visible ageing Chronic impatience I'm working on
