The National - Slipped lyrics

I'm in the city you hated
My eyes are falling
Counting the clicks with the living dead
My eyes are red
I'm in the crush and I hate it
My eyes are falling
I'm having trouble inside my skin
I'll try to keep my skeletons in
Is it weird to be back in the
South? And can they even tell
If the city girl was ever there, or anywhere?
I'm having trouble inside my skin
I'll try to keep my skeletons in
I'll be a friend and a fuck-up and everything
But I'll never be anything you
Ever want me to be

I keep coming back here
Where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
I keep coming back here
Where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out

I don't need any help to be breakable
Believe me i know nobody else who can laugh
Along to any kind of joke
I won't need any help to be
Lonely when you leave me
It'll be easy to cover
Gather my skeletons far inside
It'll be summer in Dallas before I realize

I don't want you to grieve, but
I want you to sympathize, alright
I can't blame you for losing your
Mind for a little while, so did I
I don't want you to change
But I want you to recognize that I
It'll be easy to cover
Gather your skeletons far inside
It'll be summer in Dallas before you realize
That I'll never be anything you
Ever want me to be

I keep coming back here
Where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
I keep coming back here
Where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
