Lyrics of Slipped by The National
verse
I'm in the city you hated
My eyes are falling
Counting the clicks with the living dead
My eyes are red
verse
I'm in the crush and I hate it
My eyes are falling
I'm having trouble inside my skin
I try to keep my skeletons in
verse
Is it weird to be back in the south?
And can they even tell
That the city girl was ever there
Or anywhere
verse
I'm having trouble inside my skin
I try to keep my skeletons in
I'll be your friend
And a f*ck up and everything,
But I'll never be
Anything you ever want me to be.
chorus
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
verse
I don't need any help to be breakable, believe me
I know nobody else who can laugh along to any kind of joke
I won't need any help to be lonely when you leave me
chorus
It'll be easy to cover
Gather my skeletons far inside
It'll be summer in Dallas
Before I realize
verse
I don't want you to grieve
But I want you to sympathize (alright)
I can't blame you for losing
Your mind for a little while (so did I)
I don't want you to change
But I want you to recognize (that I)
verse
It'll be easy to cover
Gather your skeletons far inside
It'll be summer in Dallas
Before you realize
That I'll never be
Anything you ever want me to be
chorus
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
I keep coming back here where everything slipped
But I will not spill my guts out
Writer(s): Matthew Donald Berninger, Aaron Brooking Dessner
