The National Lyrics

"Wake Up Your Saints" lyrics


I had a hole in the middle
Where the lightning went through
I told my friends not to worry
My wife would know how to fix it
I'll find somethin' better
Somethin' better to do
I can't set another version
Of the same color blue

It's easy to lose your breath
It's easy

I never tell my decisions to the one's I adore
I just show up in a blanket outside the front door
But when I look in the window
There were swans on TV
They were all livin' in a church
And it meant nothin' to me

It's easy to lose your breath
It's easy
It's easy to lose your breath
It's easy

So I walk through the streets I love
And I'm led to the house I built
And I walk through the streets I love
And I lay in your bed again

Wake up your saints Jenny I need them
Jenny I need them, today
Wake up your saints Jenny I need them
Jenny I need them, today

I didn't have to explain to her
That I wasn't dead
She sat me down and lit some colored candles over my head
She said you're right it's a livin'
But you're wrong for the life
Honey you never should've listened to my mother's advice

It's easy to lose your breath
It's easy
It's easy to lose your breath
It's easy

So I walk through the streets I love
And I'm led to the house I built
And I walk through the streets I love
And I lay in your bed again

Wake up your saints Jenny I need them
Jenny I need them, today
Wake up your saints Jenny I need them
Jenny I need them, today
