The National feat. Phoebe Bridgers - Laugh Track

Losing my momentum, losing my mind
Not enough to mention, not enough time
I can't even say what it's about
All I am is shreds of doubt

And you don't know how to deal with me
You don't know how that feels
It all comes apart so easily
And you're running out of ideas

Everything melted in less than a week
Watching it felt like forever
The lights started dimming
And then they went out
Heaven came down like a blanket
I can't even say what it's about
All I am is shreds of doubt

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven’t found what you’re looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene
Maybe this is just the funniest version
Of us that we've ever been

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

Maybe we'll never lighten up
Maybe this isn't gonna quit
I think it's never coming back
Maybe we've always been like this

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven’t found what you’re looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene
Maybe this is just the funniest version
Of us that we've ever been

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

Maybe we'll never lighten up
Maybe this isn't gonna quit
I think it's never coming back
Maybe we've always been like this

I think our feet are gonna slip
I think our hands are gonna shake
I think our eyes are gonna cry
I think our hearts are gonna break

So turn on the laugh track
Everyone knows you're a wreck
You're never this quiet, your smile is cracking
You just haven’t found what you’re looking for yet

Turn on the laugh track
We'll see if it changes the scene

The National feat. Rosanne Cash - Crumble

If you say that it's true
But you don't know what to do
And it's only because you love me

If you tell me that you're sure
And it can't wait anymore
And it's only because you love me

I... I'm gonna crumble
I... I'm gonna crumble

If you say it like that I'll die
If you say it like that I'll probably cry
If you say it like that and don't want to take it back
I'm gonna crumble

You say don't misread your words
Sometimes they're gonna hurt
And it's only because you love me

If you say you're well aware
Of that but you don't care
And it's only because you love me

I... I'm gonna crumble
I... I'm gonna crumble

If you say it like that I'll die
If you say it like that I'll probably cry
If you say it like that and don't want to take it back
I'm gonna crumble

Get yourself ready to catch what you can of me
Get yourself ready to pick me up
Get yourself ready to catch what you can of me
Get yourself ready to pick me up

If you say it without intention
You just thought that you should mention
And it's only because you love me

And you want to see me soon
Under less a children’s moon
And it's only because you love me

I... I'm gonna crumble
I... I'm gonna crumble

If you say it like that I'll die
If you say it like that I'll probably cry
If you say it like that and don't want to take it back
I'm gonna crumble

Get yourself ready to catch what you can of me
Get yourself ready to pick me up
Get yourself ready to catch what you can of me
Get yourself ready to pick me up

The National - Tour Manager

Alice, do what you can to get me out of this plan tonight
Maybe you can say I wanted to make it but I won't get back in time
It’s beautiful how you can find a good excuse for anything
None of them are cheap but how long can you keep on covering

Play it like it's nothin’, Alice, nothin’
Play it like it's nothin’, Alice, nothin’

I don't wanna talk about it
Don't like the way it sounds
Wanna keep it kinda quiet
Gonna try to keep it down

I know you know what I mean
You've seen me here before
Say the bubble left without me
And don't say anymore

Let me know when you're free, I gotta tell you something I believe in
It came to me while I was waking up from a something I was dreaming
It’s beautiful how we can find a good excuse for anything
And none of them are ever cheap but how long can we keep on covering

Play it like it's nothin’, Alice, nothin’
Play it like it's nothin’, Alice, nothin’
I don't wanna talk about it
Don't like the way it sounds
Wanna keep it kinda quiet
Gonna try to keep it down

I know you know what I mean
You've seen me here before
Say the bubble left without me
And don't say anymore

Play it like it's nothin’, Alice, nothin’
Play it like it's nothin’, Alice, nothin’

The National - Deep End (Paul's In Pieces)

I'm going off the deep end
Barely sleeping
Ringing in my ears sounds like singing
It's the only thing I hear

I'm drowning out inside the sound

I can't stop myself from thinking about you all the time
I'm always trying to tune you out but I'm gonna let you in tonight

When the sound of your voice comes through it's hardly there
But it's all I care about

I'm drowning out inside the sound
I can't follow what you're saying, I don't bother to try

I'm going off the deep end
Barely sleeping
Ringing in my ears sounds like singing
It's the only thing I hear

I just cling to it. I just listen
I just cling to it. I just listen

It sounds like you're saying beautiful things to me
It sounds like you're setting me up for beautiful dreams

I'm going off the deep end
Barely sleeping
Ringing in my ears sounds like singing
It's the only thing I hear

I'm drowning out inside the sound
I'm drowning out inside the sound

I can't follow what you're saying
I don't bother to try
Little bits of beautiful things you would say while I was fading off

I just cling to it. I just listen
I just cling to it. I just listen
