St. Vincent, The National - Sleep All Summer lyrics

Weary sun, sleep tonight
Go crashing into the ocean
Cut the line that ties the tide and moon
Ancient and blue
We take our empty hearts and fill
Them up with broken things
To hang on humming wire like cheap
Lamps down a dead end street

(Close your weary eyes)
And every time we turn away
(Until the wintertime)
It hit's me like a tidal wave
I would change for you but, babe
That doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man
Give the ocean what I took from you
So one day you can find it in the sand
And hold it in your hands again

Cold ways kill cool lovers
Strange ways we use each other
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
There ain't no way we're gonna find another
The way we sleep all summer
So why won't you fall back in love with me?

Combing over Broken Cross I held on you
Haunted by the ghost of something new

Curtains fall, fashions fade
An endless summer over
Another tide to launch an autumn
Moon over the dunes
There must be a better way
To pull a whole apart
To keep the world from caving in
Another way to while away from you
Frozen and blue

(Close your weary eyes)
And every time we turn away
(Until the wintertime)
It hit's me like a tidal wave
I would change for you but, babe
That doesn't mean I'm gonna be a better man
Give the ocean what I took from you
So one day you can find it in the sand
And hold it in your hands again

Cold ways kill cool lovers
Strange ways we love to suffer
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
There ain't no way we're gonna find another
The way we sleep all summer
So why won't you fall back in love with me?

Why won't you fall back in love with me?
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
Why won't you fall back in love with me?
