The National – Sleep All Summer

Posted by Adrian Enache


The National – Sleep All Summer

Weary sun, sleep tonight, go crashing into the ocean
Cut the line that ties the tide and moon, ancient and blue
We take our empty hearts and fill them up with broken things
To hang on humming wire like cheap lamps down a dead end street
Close your weary eyes until the wintertime
And every time we turn away it hits me like a tidal wave
I would change for you but, babe, that doesn’t mean I’m gonna be a better man
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand
And hold it in your hands again

Cold ways kill cool lovers
Strange ways we used each other
Why won’t you fall back in love with me?
There ain’t no way we’re gonna find another
The way we sleep all summer
So why won’t you fall back in love with me?

Combing over Broken Cross I held on you
Haunted by the ghost of something new

Curtains fall, fashions fade, an endless summer over
Another tide to launch an autumn moon over the dunes
There must be a better way to pull a whole apart
To keep a world from caving in
Another way to while away from you, frozen and blue
Close your weary eyes until the wintertime
But everytime we turn away it surges like a tidal wave
I would change but, babe, that doesn’t mean I’m gonna be a better man
Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand
And hold it in your hands again

Cold ways kill cool lovers
Strange way we use each other
Why won’t you fall back in love with me?
There ain’t no way we’re gonna find another
The way we sleep all summer
Why won’t you fall back in love with me?

Why won’t you fall back in love with me?

  1. Cat trebuie sa mai asteptam ca pe strada sa nu mai auzim fel si fel de porcarii spuse de niste dezaxati? Intra pe http://www.momentevesele.ro si citeste pamfletul in versuri “Era tot ce ne lipsea

  2. - I would change for you but, babe, that doesn’t mean I’m gonna be a better man

    Daca ar baga la cap femeile treaba asta… ar castiga mult :D (am suferit o trauma pe chestia asta) in sensul ca desi ma straduiam sa satisfac cerintele, pe langa faptul ca nu eram eu acela cu noul comportamnet insusit, apareau alte si alte cerinte si inconvienente :)
    concluzie: fie ca esti fata sau baiat (femeie sau barbat) daca nu poti accepta/constientiza sau a te multumii cu ceea ce ai… oricare va fi starea ta, tot o persoana nemultumita te vei numi :)

    Give the ocean what I took from you so one day you could find it in the sand

    cu alte cuvinte inteleptul Solomon a exprimat fraza de mai sus astfel:
    “Arunca-ti pinea pe ape, si dupa multa vreme o vei gasi iaras!”
    continuarea… http://www.bibleleague.ro/Biblia/Citeste/Editia-Cornilescu-1921/Eclesiastul/Capitolul-11

  3. “We take our empty hearts and fill them up with broken things”

    fericirea se “gaseste” greu….as vrea sa am 10 vieti…

  4. decat sa imi doresc 10 vietii aici in lume, mai bine cred in una viitoare ce nu va fi aici in lume, ci dupa cum cred unii “sus in cer” :) p.s. mie mi se potriveste crestinismul… cel autentic… activ… practic… nu cel “fake” :)

  5. If you asleep all summer, your lover will find another. Sleep only part of the night, Wake up and be shiney and bright
