The National - The Pull Of You
Somethings 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
Next time I see you will probably be
In some quote unquote upscale tropical funeral
I dreamt 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
