The National - Think You Can Wait Lyrics

The National Lyrics

"Think You Can Wait"
(from "Win Win" soundtrack)

I was drifting, crying
I was looking for an island
I was slipping under
I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another

I'm out of my mind
Think you can wait?
I'm way off the line
Think you can wait?

We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gone
We've been losing our exits one by one

I'm out of my mind
Think you can wait?
I'm way off the line
Think you can wait it out?
(All I have is all)
Think you can wait it out?
(All I have is all)
Think you can wait?

What I'm thinking is simple
I'll sell apples and ice water at the temple
I won't make trouble
I'll pull the devil down with me one way or another

We've been running a sleepless run
Been away from the baby way too long
We've been holding a good night gone
We've been losing our exits one by one

I'll try
I'll try, but I couldn't be better
(All I have is all)
I'll try, but I couldn't be better
(All I have is all)
I'll try, but I couldn't be better
(All I have is all)
