paroles de chanson Space Invader - The National

It's a calculation I made a mistake on
I never should have said it like I said
It'll come to me later like a space invader
And I won't be able to get it out of my head

What if I'd never written the letter
I slipped in the sleeve of the record I gave you?
What if I'd stayed on the C train to Lafayette?
What if we'd never met?
What if I'd only just done what you told me and never looked back?
What if I'd only ducked away down the hallway and faded to black?

It was too romantic, it was sad and frantic
A paperback book in a storm drain
It could go number one if I copied anyone
From a melody that I wish I had

What if I'd never written the letter
I slipped in the sleeve of the record I gave you?
What if I'd stayed on the C train to Lafayette?
What if we'd never met?
What if I'd only just done what you told me and never looked back?
What if I'd only ducked away down the hallway and faded to black?

What if I'd never written the letter
I slipped in the sleeve of the record I gave you?
What if I'd stayed on the C train to Lafayette?
What if we'd never met?
What if I'd only just done what you told me and never looked back?
What if I'd only ducked away down the hallway and faded to black?

It'll come to me later like a space invader
And I won't be able to get it out of my head

Quarter after four in the morning, my heart's software gore
Quarter after four in the morning, my heart's software gore
Quarter after four in the morning, my heart's software gore
Quarter after four in the morning, my heart's software gore
Why'd I leave it like that? Why'd I leave it like that?

Quarter after four in the morning, my heart's software gore
Quarter after four in the morning, my heart's software gore
Quarter after four in the morning, my heart's software gore
Quarter after four in the morning, my heart's software gore

Why'd I leave it like that?
Why'd I leave it like that?
Why'd I leave it like that?
Why'd I leave it like that?

Quarter after four in the morning, my heart's software gore
Quarter after four in the morning, my heart's software gore
Quarter after four in the morning, my heart's software gore
Why'd I leave it like that?
