The National - Day I Die lyrics
[The National - Day I Die lyrics]
I don't need you, I don't need you
Besides I barely ever see you anymore
And when I do it feels like
You're only halfway there
Young mothers love me, even ghosts of
Girlfriends call from Cleveland, they will
Meet me anytime and anywhere
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
Don't do this, I don't do this to you
And don't expect me to enjoy it
'Cause I really don't have the courage not to
Turn the volume up inside my
Ears, for years I used to put
My head inside the speakers
In the hallway when you get
Too high and talk forever
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
I get a little punchy with the vodka
Just like my great uncle Valentine Jester did
When he had to deal with
Those people like you
Who made no goddamn common sense
I'd rather walk all the way home right now
Than to spend one more second in this place
I'm exactly like you, Valentine, just
Come outside and leave with me
Let's just get high enough
To see our problems
Let's just get high enough to
See our fathers' houses
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
Besides I barely ever see you anymore
And when I do it feels like
You're only halfway there
Young mothers love me, even ghosts of
Girlfriends call from Cleveland, they will
Meet me anytime and anywhere
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
Don't do this, I don't do this to you
And don't expect me to enjoy it
'Cause I really don't have the courage not to
Turn the volume up inside my
Ears, for years I used to put
My head inside the speakers
In the hallway when you get
Too high and talk forever
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
I get a little punchy with the vodka
Just like my great uncle Valentine Jester did
When he had to deal with
Those people like you
Who made no goddamn common sense
I'd rather walk all the way home right now
Than to spend one more second in this place
I'm exactly like you, Valentine, just
Come outside and leave with me
Let's just get high enough
To see our problems
Let's just get high enough to
See our fathers' houses
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
The day I die, the day I die
Where will we be?
