other flaw: the national never does 2 encores
but man, i love the inclusion of demons, with possibly the best bridge of any national song
Demons is a great song. I agree that the bridge is the best part. Seems underrated, but I guess I don’t know a lot of people rating or ranking National songs.
I'm really liking "Walking on a String." I can't believe we're already getting new material, I'm still obsessed with I am Easy to Find.

Everything I love is on the table Everything I love is out to sea I have only two emotions Careful fear and dead devotion I can't get the balance right Throw my marbles in the fight

I liked the old way, I thought I was hanging in there You held back the worst rain From my shoulders then
What are we going through, you and me? Every other house on the street's burnin' What are we going through, wait and see Days of brutalism and hairpin turns
Your nervous throat clicks And my spirit swims right to the hook You go quiet and leave me In the wake of a terrifying look
What are we going through, you and me? What is it you want me to be learning? We're always arguing about the same things Days of brutalism and hairpin turns

You were waiting outside for me in the sun Laying down to soak it all in before we had to run I was always ten feet behind you from the start Didn't know you were gone 'til we were in the car
Oh, the glory of it all was lost on me 'Til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you And I would always be light years, light years away from you Light years, light years away from you
