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 »

I was driftin' cryin'
I was looking for an island
And I was slippin' under
I pull the devil down with me
One way or another

I'm out of my mind think you can wait?
I'm way off the line think you can wait?

We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gun
We've been losing our exit's one by one

I'm out of my mind think you can wait?
I'm way off the line
Think you can wait it out?

(All I have is all)
Think you can wait it out?
(All I have is all) think you can wait?

What I'm thinking is simple
I'll sell apples and ice water at the temple
And I won't make trouble
I'll pull the devil down with
Me one way or another

We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gun
We've been losing our exit's one by one
I'll try i'll try
But I couldn't be better (All I have is all)
I'll try but I couldn't be better
(All I have is all) i'll try
But I couldn't be better (All I have is all)
