The National - New Order T-Shirt lyrics

How you tapped on a box
Of blue American Spirit's
At Anyway Cafe a little under a month
Before the ashes and the streets
How we through the cones walking home
To the place on Atlantic you shared with
Your hilarious sister
Kicking off your and laughing

I keep what I can of you
Split second glimpses and
Snapshots and sounds
You in my New Order t-shirt
Holding a cat and a glass of beer

When you rescued me cops in Hawaii
When I shut down the place with my Japanese
And your dad how you had me lay down
For a temperature check
With the back of your head on
The back of my neck when I said
"I think I'm finally going crazy for you"

I keep what I can of you
Split second glimpses and
Snapshots and sounds
You in my New Order t-shirt
Holding a cat and a glass of beer
I flicker through
I carry them with me like drugs in a
You in a Kentucky aquarium
Talking to a shark in a corner

You in a on the
Telling somebody that maybe they're
Better off leaving then singing in it alone
You in a on the
Telling somebody that maybe they're
Better off leaving then singing in it alone

When you cried at the
And recovered in seconds
And said everything's fine
But I knew that it wasn't
That you stayed out of reach of
Me for almost a year
How you looked like a poster of a '70s movie
Sitting outside at the of your
Waiting for me to go drinking downtown

I keep what I can of you
Split second glimpses and
Snapshots and sounds
You in my New Order t-shirt
Holding a cat and a glass of beer
I flicker through
I carry them with me like drugs in a
You in a Kentucky aquarium
Talking to a shark in a corner
I keep what I can of you
Split second glimpses and
Snapshots and sounds
You in my New Order t-shirt
Holding a cat and a glass of beer
I flicker through
I carry them with me like drugs in a
You in a Kentucky aquarium
Talking to a shark in a corner
