The National

The National is an indie rock band formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1999 and currently based in Brooklyn, New York. The band's lyrics, which have been described as "dark, melancholy and difficult to interpret", are written and sung by Matt Berninger, a baritone. The rest of the band is composed of two pairs of brothers: twins Aaron (guitar and keyboard) and Bryce Dessner (guitar) and Scott (bass) and Bryan Devendorf (drums). The National has been compared to Joy Division, Leonard Cohen, Wilco and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. The name of the band was chosen because it "didn't mean anything" and was "benign and meaningless". more »

Standing at the punch table, swallowing punch
Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone
A little more scared, a little more stupid, every minute more unprepared
Made a mistake in my life today
Everything I love gets lost in drawers
I wanna start over, I wanna be winning, way out of sync from the beginning

It's easier than this, it's easier than this
Everything you say has water under it
Somebody bring me the head of a love song
Somebody bring me the head of a lie
Wanna be a blank slate, wanna wear a white cape
Wanna tackle young girls off their beautiful boyfriends

Looking for somewhere to stand and stare
I leaned on the wall and the wall leaned away
Can I get a minute of not being nervous and not thinking of my dick?
My leg turns to sparkles, my leg turns to pins
I better get my shit together, I better gather my shit in
You can drive a car through my head in five minutes from one side of it to the other

So c'mon now, don't make me cry
Everything you say has water under it
It's easier than this, it's easier than this
Everything you say has water under it
Wanna bring me the head of a love song
Wanna bring me the head of a love song
Wanna be a blank slate, wanna wear a white cape
Wanna tackle young girls off their beautiful boyfriends
No I couldn't get ahead in a love song?
Gonna be a blank slate, gonna wear a white cape
Don't overdo it

What do I do now?
Don't overdo it

What do I do now?
Don't overdo it

What do I do now?
Don't overdo it

What do I do now?
Don't overdo it
