Bitters & Absolut - The National

Sweetie, you don’t look so good

Your bottom lip is bleeding.

I cut it on your collarbone

Go on, go back to sleep.

Sugar, who were you thinking of?

You woke me with your breathing.

Honey, how am I supposed to tell?

If I were a spy in the world inside your head

Would I be your wife in a better life you led?

Thought I saw you on the stairs

Of this american century.

I went up through all the years

You were years ahead of me.

Remember when you dipped your hand?

I never saw it coming.

You took the wind out of me.

If I were a spy in the world inside your head

Would I be your wife in the better life you led?

I’d do you better than you do

I’d do you better than you ever will

When I am on bitters and absolut.

If I were a spy in the world inside your head

Would I be your wife in a better life you led?

I’d do you better than you do

I’d do you better than you ever will.

When I am on bitters and absolut.
