THE NATIONAL
"I'll Still Destroy You"
(Matt Berninger / Carin Besser / Aaron Dessner / Bryce Dessner)

It's so easy to set off
The molecules and the caplets
They all have something against me
Nothing I do makes me feel different

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
This one's like your sister's best friends in a bath calling you to join them
Can't avoid them
This one's like your mother's arms when she was young and sunburned in the '80s
It lasts forever

The more level they have me
The more I cannot stand me
I have helpless friendships
And bad taste in liquids

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
This one's like the wilderness without the world
I'm gonna miss those long nights with the windows open
I keep re-reading the same lines always up at 5am every morning
Like a baby

[Chorus:]
It's just the lights coming on
It's just the lights coming on

I have no posessions
No point of view or vision
I'm just trying to stay in touch with anything I'm still in touch with

[Pre-Chorus 3:]
The sky's getting white
I can't find a lighter anywhere I'm going crazy
But I'm not crazy
Put your heels against the wall
I swear you got a little bit taller since I saw you
I'll still destroy you

[Chorus:]
It's just the lights coming on
It's just the lights coming on
