Walk It Back

The National

I’m always thinking about useless things
I’m always checking out
I’m always bothering myself to bits
I’m always checking out

Forget it, nothing I change changes anything
I won’t let it
I won’t let her ruin my head

I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off
Don’t wanna fuck it up
I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off
Don’t wanna fuck up the place

I better walk it back, walk it back
Oh, I better walk it back, walk it back
Walk it back, walk it back

I try to save it for a rainy day
It’s raining all the time
Until everything is less insane,
I’m mixing weed with wine

Forget it, nothing I change changes anything
I won’t let it
I won’t let her ruin my head

I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off
Don’t wanna fuck it up
I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off
Don’t wanna fuck it up

I only take up a little of the collapsing space
I better cut this off
Don’t wanna fuck up the place

I better walk it back, walk it back
Oh, I better walk it back, walk it back
Walk it back, walk it back

Oh, I better walk it back, walk it back
Walk it back, walk it back

I can’t stay in
And I can’t come back
I just keep awake
And I won’t react
I walk through Lawrencetown
Along the tracks
My own body in my arms
But I won’t collapse
So don’t go dark on me

It’s all alright
If I’m gonna get back to you some day
I need your light
