paroles de chanson Coat on a Hook - The National

Don't leave me here at this party
Like a coat on a hook
Two days, we're still not talking
You're the opposite of an open book

Come back for me
Everyone's nervous and looking at their feet
I ask the same questions to everyone I see

What am I missing? Where have you been?
What if they ask me about it? Where would I begin?
Friendships are melting, nothing is helping
Nothing's worth keeping, promises cheapen

From the beginning, I've had you in my mind
Been dead slow swimming to you
In the dead low tide

This isn't your problem, believe me
I know how I sound
Don't feel like myself anymore
When you're not around

Friendships are melting, nothing is helping
Nothing's worth keeping, promises cheapen

Two years since I last saw you last curling
Your hair with your pistol, telling me not to be
So melodramatic
I'll be waving red flashlights on a roof on an island
You always come back from things like this

Don't leave me here at this party
Like a coat on a hook
Two days, we're still not talking
You're the opposite of an open book

Come back for me
Everyone's nervous and looking at their feet
I ask the same questions to everyone I see

Where are the ninety-nines? Everyone's missing
It's like a confession with nobody listening
Friendships are melting, nothing is helping
Nothing's worth keeping, promises cheapen

Two years since I saw you last curling
Your hair with your pistol, telling me not to be
So melodramatic
It warms my face and gets my hands to open
Snakes in the water paths of our silverware soften
Like it says on the prescription

Don't leave me here at this party
Like a coat on a hook
