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’m always thinking about useless things
I’m always checking out
I’m always bothering myself to bits
I’m always checking out

Forget it, nothing I change changes anything
I won't let in
I won't let it ruin my head

I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off
Don’t wanna f*ck it up
I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off
Don’t wanna f*ck up the place

I better walk it back, walk it back
Oh, I better walk it back, walk it back
Walk it back, walk it back

I try to save it for a rainy day
It's raining all the time
Until everything is less insane
I'm mixing weed with wine

Forget it, nothing I change changes anything
I won't let in
I won't let it ruin my head

I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off
Don’t wanna f*ck it up
I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off
Don’t wanna f*ck it up

I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off
Don’t wanna f*ck up the place

I better walk it back, walk it back
Oh, I better walk it back, walk it back
Walk it back, walk it back

Oh, I better walk it back, walk it back
Walk it back, walk it back

I can't stay in
And I can't come back
I just keep awake 
And I won't react
I walk through Lawrence town
Along the tracks
My own body in my arms
But I won't colapse
So don't go dark on me

It's all alright
If I'm gonna get back to you some day
I'll need your light
