(+) The National - 'Hairpin Turns'
I liked the old way I thought I was hanging in there You held back the worst rain From my shoulders then
What are we going through? You and me Every other house on the street’s burning What are we going through? Wait and see Days of brutalism and hairpin turns
Your nervous throat clicks and my Spirit swims right to the hook You go quiet and leave me in the wake Of a terrifying look
What are we going through? You and me What is it you want me to be learning? We’re always arguing About the same things Days of brutalism and hairpin turns
Say it like I was right in the room there Say it like your head was on my shoulder And I’ll keep my eyes open
What are we going through? You and me Every other house on the street’s burning What are we going through? Wait and see Days of brutalism and hairpin turns
What are we going through? You and me What is it you want me to be learning? We’re always arguing About the same things Days of brutalism and hairpin turns
And I’ll keep my eyes open And I’ll keep my eyes open
