Beautiful Head - The National

You’re walking taller than you should

The air is thin around your beautiful head

You’re saying things with your mouth to me

That I don’t recognize

You’re aware of yourself lately

Redefining yourself

Designing yourself

You haven’t looked at me forever

Got a diagram of your associations

A strategy

You’re weighing your options

What would you trade me for?

You’re measuring me lately

And I can tell

And I can tell I’m losing weight

You’re measuring me lately

You’re dressing me

Do not tell me I’ve changed

You’re just raising your standards

Do not give me away

I am the same

I am the same

Have you found him?

Have you told him everything?

Does he say he feels bad about all this?

You’ve shown tenderness for me

Tenderness for me

To him

Do not tell me I’ve changed

You’re just raising your standards

Do not give me away

I am the same

I am the same
