The Pull Of You

Something's leaving me behind It's just a feeling in my mind What was it you always said? We're connected by a thread If we're ever far apart I'll still feel the pull of you I know, I get it I'm either at the bottom of a well Or spinning into somebody's outdoor glass furniture Is this how I lose it? Everything at once? Carried to space by a dolphin balloon? Whatever magical thinking you need to hang around your neck, right? Maybe we'll end up the ones eating chocolate chip pancakes next to a charity swimming pool The next time I see you will probably be in some quote, unquote, "Upscale tropical funeral" I dreamed that's what Nina Simone said to her lover- Maybe we'll talk it out inside a car With rain falling around us We all know this rain is hard to take I know I can get attached and then unattached To my own versions of others My view of you comes back and drops away Just that I'm still here And there's still everything you don't know Oh, how often I dream about you You don't know how I need you You got me all wrong If I said I was sorry for always being underwater, would you stay? You can take me There's no difference between you and me Tell me what you would say if I said that to you I get you, you're not like anyone Do you hear me? Just be here Don't let me get in the way of you finding everything What was it? The story you told me? Why am I so hard to be around? Here at the approach of the end of everything Sometimes I don't think I'm really around here half the time Sometimes I don't think I'm really around here at all Sometimes I don't think I'm really around here half the time Sometimes I don't think I'm really around here at all Something's leaving me behind It's just a feeling in my mind What was is it you always said? We're connected by a thread If we ever get far apart I'll still feel the pull of you --- The Pull of You - The National
