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 »

Don't ask me
What you know is true
I don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

I (don't ask me)
I was standing (what you know is true)
You were there (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

You (don't ask me)
You were standing (what you know is true)
I was there (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

I (don't ask me)
I was standing (what you know is true)
You were there (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
