So Far So Fast - The National

Lay down in the doorway

In front of me

Make yourself impossible

For me to leave

I remember a kid in the water

I remember a world on fire

I was just coming out of it

It was so hot all summer

I get so far, so fast

I get so far, so fast

A storm that blackens

The quiet sea

You went running right into it

Away from me

We have friends in good houses

We have kids in the trees

How I have nothing but sleepless nights

About everything?

I get so far, so fast

I get so far, so fast

Don’t you know someday somebody will come and find you?

If you don’t know who you are anymore, they will remind you

We don’t see you around here anymore, it’s okay

But I will say your name out loud

And you will be home

There are so many things that drive me crazy

What you think I am, it’s never been me

Hearing your voice always saves me

Can you get away and talk to me?
