Pay For Me Lyrics - The National - The National

I thought I'd come to you 

And your long lazy scene 

Instate direction, finger on a magazine. 

I'd call you when I need you 

I can't get used to your new name. 

Send a body double over with your keys 

She'll see you in an hour 

Everybody quiet please. 

Essex house is down the road 

The actors want to be alone. 

Your room is still and soft 

As a jeweler's. 

Incidental music coming down the hall 

Remember when I never had to wait for you at all? 

I wish my hands were yours as I lay your keys 

On a magazine.

Take me to LaGuardia 

My baby's gonna pay for me. 

Bottle from the duty-free 

I'll drink it all across the sea. 

Lay me down business class 

Headphones and a sleeping mask. 

She's gonna pay for me 

She's gonna pay for me. 

Brother, I wish you were home 

Just tell me you're not alone 

Call me back; I'm on a plane 

I think I'm somewhere over spain. 

I'm in the dark without the stars 

I've never seen a black suit dark 

Thought I'd be above the rain 

Somewhere on a higher plane.

Oh brother, I wish you were home 

My brother, I wish you were home. 

Baby, you're asleep by now 

You never stayed awake for me 

You never waited up for me, 

No, you never waited up for me! 

Now there's nothing I can do 

I lost you but i beat the sound 

Couldn't if I wanted to 

The cogwheel doesn't turn around! 

Oh brother, I wish you were home 

My baby is in a room alone. 

My brother, I wish you were home.
