Quiet Light

The National

6

I used to fall asleep to you talking to me

I don′t listen to anything now

Nothing to do with usI'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
