once upon a poolside

The National

Don t make this any harder
Everybody s waiting
Walk-on s almost over
Teenagers on ice
Try to keep my distance
Talking of forgiveness
Once upon a poolside
Underneath the lights

What was the worried thing you said to me?

I ll follow you everywhere
While you work the room
I don t know how you do it
Tangerine perfume
I m not doing anyone
Any kind of favors
Watching airplanes land
Sink into the pavement

What was the worried thing you said to me?

I can t keep talking, I can t stop shaking
I can t keep track of everything I m taking
Everything is different, why do I feel the same?
Am I asking for too much?
Can t hear what you re saying

What was the worried thing you said to me?
I thought we could make it through anything

This is the closest we ve ever been
And I have no idea what s happening
Is this how this whole thing is gonna end?
This is the closest we ve ever been

Don t make this any harder
Everybody s waiting
Walk-on s almost over
Teenagers on ice
Try to keep my distance
Talking of forgiveness
Once upon a poolside
Underneath the lights

What was the worried thing you said to me?
I thought we could make it through anything
