The National - The Pull of You lyrics
[The National - The Pull of You lyrics]
Something's leaving me behind
It's just a feeling in my mind
What was it you always said?
We're connected by a thread
If we're ever far apart
I'll still feel the pull of you
I know, I get it
I'm either at the bottom of a well
Or spinning into somebody's
Outdoor glass furniture
Is this how I lose it? Everything at once?
Carried to space by a dolphin balloon?
Whatever magical thinking you need to
Hang around your neck, right?
Maybe we'll end up the
Ones eating chocolate chip
Pancakes next to a charity swimming pool
The next time I see you will probably be
In some pool or upscale tropical funeral
I dream that's what Nina Simone said to
Her lover John when he left
Maybe we'll talk it out inside a car
With rain falling around us
We all know this rain is hard to take
I know I can get attached and then unattached
To my own versions of others
My view of you comes back and drops away
It's just that I’m still here and
There's still everything you don't know
Oh, how often I dream about you
You don't know how I need you
You got me all wrong if I said I was sorry
For always being underwater, would you stay?
You can take me
There's no difference between you and me
Tell me what you would say if
I said that to you i get you
You're not like anything do you
Hear me? Just be here
Don't let me get in the
Way of you finding everything
What was it? The story you told me?
Why am I so hard to be around?
Here at the approach of the end of everything
Sometimes I don't think I'm really
Around here half the time
Sometimes I don't think I'm really
Around here at all
Sometimes I don't think I'm really
Around here half the time
Sometimes I don't think I'm really
Around here at all
Something's leaving me behind
It's just a feeling in my mind
What was is it you always said?
We're connected by a thread
If we ever get far apart
I'll still feel the pull of you
It's just a feeling in my mind
What was it you always said?
We're connected by a thread
If we're ever far apart
I'll still feel the pull of you
I know, I get it
I'm either at the bottom of a well
Or spinning into somebody's
Outdoor glass furniture
Is this how I lose it? Everything at once?
Carried to space by a dolphin balloon?
Whatever magical thinking you need to
Hang around your neck, right?
Maybe we'll end up the

Pancakes next to a charity swimming pool
The next time I see you will probably be
