The Pull Of You Lyrics - The National

Something's leaving me behind 

It's just a feeling in my mind 

What was it you always said? 

We're connected by a thread 

If we're ever far apart 

I'll still feel the pull of you 

I know, I get it, I'm either at the bottom of a well 

Or spinning into somebody's outdoor glass furniture 

Is this how I lose it? Everything at once? 

Carried to space by a dolphin balloon? 

Whatever magical thinking you need to hang around your neck, right? 

Maybe we'll end up the ones who eat chocolate chip pancakes 

Next to a charity swimming pool 

The next time I'll see you will probably be in some quote unquote 

Upscale tropical funeral, I dreamed that's what Nina Simone said to her lover John

Maybe we'll talk it out inside a car 

With rain falling around us 

We all know this rain is hard to take 

I know I can get attached and then unattached 

To my own versions of others 

My view of you comes back and drops away 

It's just that I'm still here 

And there's still everything you don't know 

Oh how often I dream about you 

You don't know how I need you 

You got me all wrong 

If I said I was sorry for always being underwater, would you stay? 

You can take me 

There's no difference between you and me 

Tell me what you would say if I said that to you 

I get you 

You're not like anything 

Do you hear me? 

Just be here 

Don't let me get in the way of you finding everything 

What was it? The story you told me? 

Why am I so hard to be around? 

Here at the approach of the end of everything

Sometimes I don't think I'm really around here half the time 

Sometimes I don't think I'm really around here at all 

Sometimes I don't think I'm really around here half the time 

Sometimes I don't think I'm really around here at all 

Something's leaving me behind 

It's just a feeling in my mind 

What was is it you always said? 

We're connected by a thread 

If we ever get far apart 

I'll still feel the pull of you
