The Perfect Song Songtext
von The National

Ten years older than i was
What i brought you down to see,
What i thought would make you fall in love

Wearing off on our dreams
Someday man i′m gonna be no different than the other rivers
I tried to look at you but i couldnt break the ice
You stood out there for an hour freezing
Put your hand around my back
I guess you thought i needed that

I never try to find you
I hope you don't remember me
I hope you′re not alone


Wanted me to take you home
You said you'd rather be alone
I never thought of that
Car is warm and we had wine
But i couldn't find the perfect song

Now our furniture for the one with crows feet and i can′t even remember the call
Sometimes i can feel your weight when i close my eyes
Seven times i was under you

I never try to find you
I hope you dont remember me
I hope your not alone
I don′t wanna know what your thinking
I'm looking out the window
Just fucking drinking

Shallow frame and shaky sticks but i know there′s a river in me
Shallow minded adult tricks but i know there's a river in me
