The National
Slow Show (Live in Brussels)
[Verse 1]
Standing at the punch table, swallowing punch
Can't pay attention to the sound of anyone
A little more stupid, a little more scared
Every minute, more unprepared
I made a mistake in my life today
Everything I love gets lost in the drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
Way out of sync from the beginning

[Chorus]
I wanna hurry home to you
Put on a slow, dumb show for you
And crack you up
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God, I'm very, very frightened
I'll overdo it

[Verse 2]
Looking for somewhere to stand and stay
I leaned on the wall and the wall leanеd away
Can I get a minute of not being nеrvous
And not thinking of my dick?
My leg is sparkles, my leg is pins
I better get my shit together, better gather my shit in
You could drive a car through my head in five minutes
From one side of it to the other
[Chorus]
I wanna hurry home to you
Put on a slow, dumb show for you
And crack you up
So you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
God, I'm very, very frightened
I'll overdo it

[Outro]
You know I dreamed about you
For twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for, for twenty-nine years
You know I dreamed about you
For twenty-nine years before I saw you
You know I dreamed about you
I missed you for, for twenty-nine years

[Audience Cheering]

[Spoken: Matt Berninger, Bryce Dessner]
Thank you
Thank you
Sorry we had to switch around the shows
But I got a bearhug from Michelle Obama and I can still feel it and I will share it with you if I can
Cause I can still feel it in my bones and I will share it
That's seven thousand bearhugs you've gotta give

I will share it
One at a time
It was a slow hug
