Quiet Light Songtext
von The National

I used to fall asleep to you talking to me
I don′t listen to anything now
Nothing to do with us
I'm just so tired of thinking about everything
I′m not afraid of being alone
I just don't know what to do with my time
Between you and me, I thought it would all last a little while longer

But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
Learning how not to die inside a little every time
I think about you and wonder if you are awake

You don′t know anything
I think about you way more than anything else
I′m not that spiritual
I still go out all the time to department stores
Everything I need
But none of this is getting me anywhere good
Between you and me
I still fall apart at the thought of your voice


But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
Learning how not to die inside a little every time
I think about you and wonder if you are awake
And I′m learning to live without the heartache it gives me
Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes
Learning how not to cry every time
There′s another sad unbearable morning
But sometimes there's nothing I can do

I can′t help it
It's you that I think I hear in the quiet light
Am I crazy?
You're nowhere near me, guess I don′t know what I′m saying
Just call me, I'll come to where you are alone in the quiet light
I′m always thinking you're behind me
And I turn around and you′re always there

But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light
While I watch the sky go from black to grey
Learning how not to die, inside a little every time
I think about you and wonder if you are awake
And I′m learning to live without the heartache it gives me
Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes
Learning how not to cry every time
There's another sad unbearable morning
But sometimes there′s nothing I can do
