Lyrics The National – Lean

Everybody needs a prayer, and needs a friend
Everybody knows the world’s about to end
Everybody wants to know what the end will be
Everybody wants to look before they leap

And I can see your fever’s on the rise
I can see the waters in your eyes
And I can see the way the water leads
Love will lead us all to smithereens
Dying is easy, I believe my love and my love relieves me
Dying is easy, I believe my love and my love relieves me
You said it was everything…

Everybody takes forever to fall asleep,
Everybody’s got a life they don’t want to keep
Everybody needs a prayer, and needs a friend
Everybody knows the world’s about to end

And I can see your fever’s on the rise
I can see the waters in your eyes
And I can see the way the water leads
Love will lead us all to smithereens
Dying is easy, I believe my love and my love relieves me
Dying is easy, I believe my love and my love relieves me
You said it was everything…
I’m gonna let it in…

And I can see your fever’s on the rise
I can see the waters in your eyes
And I can see the way the water leads
