The National - Slipped Lyrics
I'm in the city you hatedMy eyes are fallingCounting the clicks with the living deadMy eyes are redI'm in the crush and I hate itMy eyes are fallingI'm having trouble inside my skinI try to keep my skeletons inIs it weird to be back in the south?And can they even tellThat the city girl was ever thereOr anywhereI'm having trouble inside my skinI try to keep my skeletons inI'll be your friendAnd a f*ck up and everything,But I'll never beAnything you ever want me to be.I keep coming back here where everything slippedBut I will not spill my guts outI keep coming back here where everything slippedBut I will not spill my guts outI don't need any help to be breakable, believe meI know nobody else who can laugh along to any kind of jokeI won't need any help to be lonely when you leave meIt'll be easy to coverGather my skeletons far insideIt'll be summer in DallasBefore I realizeI don't want you to grieveBut I want you to sympathize (alright)I can't blame you for losingYour mind for a little while (so did I)I don't want you to changeBut I want you to recognize (that I)It'll be easy to coverGather your skeletons far insideIt'll be summer in DallasBefore you realizeThat I'll never beAnything you ever want me to beI keep coming back here where everything slippedBut I will not spill my guts outI keep coming back here where everything slippedBut I will not spill my guts out
