Moi Caprice – Wish You Were Her Lyrics 14 years ago
Part of me do wish you weren't here,
but it's not all that important when we're this near.
It's just a trick of the mind, I suppose,
cause I really cannot see you when we get
this
close.

Again I watched the machinery of my desire
melt into a twosome midnight choir,
but when you've seen the one you love across your girlfriend's shoulder,
the things that burn will eventually turn colder.

I'm waiting for the day that she might come back home to me.

I'm waiting for the day that she might come back home to me.

You can lend a shirt and keep it when you go,
and I don't care if I get it back, you know.
Well, I'm a miserable wreck, I wish I could ask you to stay.
Far, far away.

Cause it occurred to me what I was fighting for when you re-emerged from the bathroom door
and you didn't look as lovely as you did the night before.

I'm waiting for the day that she might come back home to me.

I'm waiting for the day that she might come back home to me.

There were times when I was blind and didn't care at all,
but if you wish to see the sun, it's quite unbearable.
And there were times when I could see, but didn't see things straight.
She weren't there, and others were and it was always late.
And in the darkness you forget that morning is on its way
and right beside you, nestling closer, is the price you pay.
I'm sure that I was deaf and blind trapped in a roaring youth,
but in the stillness of my heart I always knew the truth:
I'm waiting for the day that she might come back home to me.
I'm waiting for the day that she might come back home to me.
I'm waiting for the day that she might come back home to me.

Is that supposed to be a record player skipping in this song?

No, it's a guitar scratched with a fork.

About given false self-confidence.
He has been fed this idea of him beeing almost almighty and now it all has come crumbling down. Regretting his foolishness. He is realizing that and wants a little reassurance. Somebody to lean on for a while.

On first thoughts.
Probably about accidentally bumping into somebody who used to be dependent of the main character.

The National – You've Done It Again, Virginia Lyrics 17 years ago
He knows it's ending. He's enjoying the last few seconds with whatever's ending. He wishes with all his heart to stop the time right there but he knows he can't. He's just paralyzed with sadness. Making the last effort and checking for the very last time if there's something he can do to change anything...
And that is what is breaking his heart.

The National – The Geese of Beverly Road Lyrics 18 years ago
This is about that one moment when you're with somebody and you're totally free. Acting silly, acting like kids, and a little wasted. Being free of all responsibly. Somewhere around 3 am...
"We're drunk and sparking, our legs are open
Our hands are covered in cake
But I swear we didn't have any
I swear we didn't have any"
The world is ours for that one second.
Perhaps the closest that anybody is going to get to the true feeling of happiness.

"Fill her coat with weapons and help her get it on cuz one day when she goes, she's gone"
In my humble opinion this song is about pushing the other to the edge of walking away. Playing with ones luck. And when she does leave, he's sorry and blaming himself. He's thinking he should have cherished her when he had the chance...
