You Had Your Soul With You - The National

You had your soul with you, I was in no mood

Drift away, and I could forget

I had only one last feather left

I wore it on the island of my head

I had only one thing to do and I couldn’t do it yet

You felt like heaven stood up in you

You said love fills you out

It moves you from the skeleton and pulls you around

I got it worse than anyone else

And I just can’t find a way to forgive myself

I had only one thing left and I couldn’t see it yet

I have owed it to my heart, every word I’ve said

You have no idea how hard I died when you left

If I yield to my trances, will I get up close again?

I had only one thing to do and I couldn’t do it yet

I had only one thing left and I couldn’t see it yet

You had your soul with you, I was in no mood

You had your soul with you, I was in no mood
