The National - Without Permission lyrics
[The National - Without Permission lyrics]
Oh, well I just don't know
How you could go without permission
'Cause where, if you're not there?
Well I just don't care for this omission
Every moment brings me down
When you're not around
But all I'm asking for is come
Back for just one day
So where did you go
And do you now know how to be happy?
'Cause here, well, it's pretty clear
When you're not near me, I am unhappy
Every moment brings me down
When you're not around
But all I'm asking for is come
Back for just one day
I'll make it worth the while
Just to see your smile
That's all I'm asking for
Oh I've come to know
You had to go without permission
'Cause it was how, how I wore you down
And how I dragged you 'round my sole ambition
Every moment brings me down
When you're not around
But all I'm asking for is come
Back for just one day
I'll make it worth the while
Just to see your smile
That's all I'm asking for, my dear
How you could go without permission
'Cause where, if you're not there?
Well I just don't care for this omission
Every moment brings me down
When you're not around
But all I'm asking for is come
Back for just one day
So where did you go
And do you now know how to be happy?
'Cause here, well, it's pretty clear
When you're not near me, I am unhappy
Every moment brings me down
When you're not around
But all I'm asking for is come
Back for just one day
I'll make it worth the while
Just to see your smile
That's all I'm asking for
Oh I've come to know
You had to go without permission
'Cause it was how, how I wore you down
And how I dragged you 'round my sole ambition
Every moment brings me down
When you're not around
But all I'm asking for is come
Back for just one day
I'll make it worth the while
Just to see your smile
That's all I'm asking for, my dear
