Coat On A Hook

"Coat On A Hook" Lyrics by The National

Don’t leave me here at this party like a coat on a hook
Two days we’re still not talking
You’re the opposite of an open book

Come back for me
Everyone’s nervous and looking at their feet
I ask the same questions to everyone I see
What am I missing? Where have you been?
What if they ask me about it?
Where would I begin?

Friendships are melting, nothing is helping
Nothing’s worth keeping, promises cheapen

From the beginning I’ve had you in my mind
Been dead slow swimming to you in the dead low tide
This isn’t your problem, believe me, I know how I sound
Don’t feel like myself anymore when you’re not around

Friendships are melting, nothing is helping
Nothing’s worth keeping, promises cheapen

Two years since I saw you last curling your
Hair with your pistol telling me not to be so melodramatic
I’ll be waving red flashlights on a roof on an island
You always come back from things like this

Don’t leave me here at this party like a coat on a hook
Two days we’re still not talking
You’re the opposite of an open book

Come back for me
Everyone’s nervous and looking at their feet
I ask the same questions to everyone I see

Where are the ninety-nines? Everyone’s missing
It’s like a confession with nobody listening
Friendships are melting, nothing is helping
Nothing’s worth keeping, promises cheapen

Two years since I saw you last curling your
Hair with your pistol telling me not to be so melodramatic
It warms my face and gets my hands to open
Snakes in the water paths of our silverware softened
Like it says on the prescription

Don’t leave me here at this party like a coat on a hook
