the lights

The National

It's so easy to set off
The molecules and caplets
They all have something against me
Nothing I do makes any difference

This one's like my sister's best friends in her bed calling me to join them
Can't avoid it
This one's like my mother's arms when she was young and sunburnt in the '80s
Lasts forever

The more level they have me
The more I cannot stand me
I have helpless ventures
And bad taste in memories

I keep reading in the ceiling walls in the morning
Like a baby
Oh the sky's getting white
I can't find a liner anywhere I'm going crazy
I'm not crazy

It's just the lights turning on
It's just the lights turning on
I'm all yours

I have no positions
No point of view or vision
I'm just trying to stay in touch with anything I'm still in touch with

Put your heels against the wall
I swear you got a little bit taller since I saw you, still distraught
This one's like the wilderness, without the world I'm gonna miss the real life, in my hide

It's just the lights turning on
It's just the lights turning on
I'm all yours
