"Lean" lyrics - THE NATIONAL

Everybody needs a prayer and needs a friend
Everybody knows the world's about to end
Everybody wants to know what the end will be
Everybody wants to look before they leap

Everybody wants a sip of wine to drink
Everybody wants a little more time to think
Everybody needs a reason why they run
Everybody wants to know what they're running from

And I can see your fever's on the rise
And I can see the water's in your eyes
And I can see the way the water leans
Love will lead us all to smithereens

Dying is easy
I believe my love and my love relieves me
Dying is easy
I believe my love and my love relieves me

You said it was everything

Everybody takes forever to fall asleep
Everybody's got a lot they don't want to keep
Everybody needs a prayer and needs a friend
Everybody knows the world's about to end

And I can see your fever's on the rise
And I can see the water's in your eyes
And I can see the way the water leans
Love will lead us all to smithereens

Dying is easy
I believe my love and my love relieves me
Dying is easy
I believe my love and my love relieves me

You said it was everything
And I'm gonna let it in

And I can see your fever's on the rise
And I can see the water's in your eyes
And I can see the way the water leans
Love will lead us all to smithereens

Dying is easy
I believe my love and my love relieves me
Dying is easy
I believe my love and my love relieves me

You said it was everything
And I'm gonna let it in
