"Deep End (Paul's In Pieces)" lyrics - THE NATIONAL

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Pre-Chorus:]
When the sound of your voice comes through, it's hardly there
But it's all I care about

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
I just cling to it
I just listen (Paul's in pieces)
I just cling to it (Paul's in pieces)
I just listen (Paul's in pieces)

[Bridge:]
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

[Chorus:]
I'm drowning out
Inside the sound
I'm drowning out (Paul's in pieces)
Inside the sound (Paul's in pieces)
I can't follow what you're saying (Paul's in pieces)
I don't bother to try (Paul's in pieces)
Little bits of beautiful things you would say (Paul's in pieces)
While I was fading off (Paul's in pieces)
I just cling to it (Paul's in pieces)
I just listen (Paul's in pieces)
I just cling to it (Paul's in pieces)
I just listen
