Lirik Lagu The National - Tropic Morning News

Merdeka.com - Judul Lagu: Tropic Morning News

I wasn't starting yet

I didn't even think you were listening

I wasn't ready at all

To say anything about anything interesting

It's a thing you have

You just don't know that you do it

You wait around in a conversation

While I get in and start stumbling through it

I was so distracted then

I didn't have it straight in my head

I didn't have my face on yet, or the role, or the feel

Of where I was going with it all

I was suffering more than I let on

The tropic morning news was on

There's nothing stopping me nowFrom saying all the painful parts out loudGot to my feetFeeling that I'd let you downWanted to say it slow and perfectBut it all, somehow, got switched aroundSomething went off on its ownMy dumb automatic chit-chatIt's not what I meant to say at allThere's no way you can attach me to thatGot up to seize the dayWith my head in my hands, feeling strangeWhen all my thinking got mangledAnd I caught myself talking myself off the ceilingI was suffering more than I let onThe tropic morning news was onThere's nothing stopping me nowFrom saying all the painful parts out loudOh, where are all the moments we'd have?Oh, where's the brain we shared?Something somehow has you rapidly improvingOh, what happened to the wavelength we were on?Oh, where's the gravity gone?Something somehow has you rapidly improvingYou found the ache in my argumentYou couldn't wait to get out of itYou found the slush in my sentimentYou made it sound so intelligentYou can stop and start an athlete's heartHow do I feel about it?I would love to have nothing to do with itI would like to move on and be through with itI'll be over here lying near the oceanMaking ocean soundsLet me know if you can come overAnd work the controls for a whileI was so distracted thenI didn't have it straight in my headI didn't have my face on yet, or the role, or the feelOf where I was going with at allI was suffering more than I let onThe tropic morning news was onThere's nothing stopping me nowFrom saying all the painful parts out loudOh, where are all the moments we'd have?Oh, where's the brain we shared?Something somehow has you rapidly improvingOh, what happened to the wavelength we were on?Oh, where's the gravity gone?Something somehow has you rapidly improving
