The National - Quiet Light lyrics

[The National - Quiet Light lyrics]

I used to fall asleep to you talking to me
I don't listen to anything now
Nothing to do with us i'm just so tired of
Thinking about everything
I'm not afraid of being alone
I just don't know what to do with my time
Between you and me
I thought it would all last
A little while longer

But I'm learning to lie here
In the quiet light
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
Learning how not to die inside
A little every time
I think about you and wonder if you are awake

You don't know anything
I think about you way more than anything else
I'm not that spiritual I still go out
All the time to department stores
Everything I need
But none of this is getting me anywhere good
Between you and me I still fall apart
At the thought of your voice

But I'm learning to lie here
In the quiet light
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
Learning how not to die inside
A little every time
I think about you and wonder if you are awake
And I'm learning to live without
The heartache it gives me
Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes
Learning how not to cry every time
There's another sad unbearable morning
But sometimes there's nothing I can do

I can't help it it's you that I think I
Hear in the quiet light am I crazy?
You're nowhere near me
Guess I don't know what I'm saying
Just call me, i'll come to where you are
Alone in the quiet light
I'm always thinking you're behind me
And I turn around and you're always there

But I'm learning to lie here
In the quiet light
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
Learning how not to die
Inside a little every time
I think about you and wonder if you are awake
And I'm learning to live without
The heartache it gives me
Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes
Learning how not to cry every time
There's another sad unbearable morning
But sometimes there's nothing I can do
