The National
Carin at the Liquor Store (Live at Berkeley 9/24/18)
[Spoken: Matt Berninger]
This is for my wife
Uh
I wrote this one about her

[Verse 1]
I was a worm, I was a creature
I get on the ground the second I'd see you
You cannot command your love
I wasn't a catch, I wasn't a keeper
I was walking around like I was the one who found dead John Cheever
Hand in glove

[Chorus 1]
So blame it on me, I really don't care
It's a foregone conclusion

[Verse 2]
I see you in stations and on invitations
You'd fall into rivers with friends on the weekends
Innocent skies above
Carin at the liquor store, I can't wait to see you
I'm walking around like I was the one who found dead John Cheever
In the house of love

[Chorus 2]
So blame it on me, I really don't care
It's a foregone conclusion
It wasn't so bad, I wasn't that sick
Got taken by love, I wasn't that quick
A foregone conclusion
You're gonna see me different tonight
After you see me different tonight
I can't remember what you told me to write (a foregone conclusion)
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 3]
So blame it on me, I really don't care
It's a foregone conclusion
I'm already seeing stars in the air
It's a foregone conclusion
