The National - High Beams lyrics

[The National - High Beams lyrics]

Take your time, use a year
That should cover what I owe you
And some things that you will never know
I wear your clothes til you come home
You'll know me by the way I'm dressed
And now they seem to fit me
Better than my own

I give to you the safe side of the (cup?)
But I am tall as high beams, shine up my back
And I am straight as briars
Come bending past
Just look for branches tied in bows
'cause I love you to ribbons
And you can take them with you as you go
I took the hairpins from your head
And tried to ask them why they led you
To believe that you should live alone

I give to you the safe side of the cup
But I am as tall as high beams


Shine up my back
And I am straight as briars
Come bending past
Take my brother's pistol put it in your bag
Take my winter jacket and put it in your bag
Take my brother's pistol put it in your bag
Take my winter jacket and put in your bag
I give to you the safe side
I give to you the safe side
I give to you the safe side of the cup
But I am tall as high beams, shine up my back
And I am straight as briars
Come bending past you go shine it on these
You go shine it on these
You go shine it on these
