The National - Turn Off The House Lyrics

The National Lyrics

"Turn Off The House"

Put everything in boxes
Your head in a paper bag
Leave all the windows open
Leave the beds unmade

Tell them that you've gone to see
If you can find out what it means
When your mind leaves your body

Turn off the house
Turn off the house

Nothing you need to get back to
No one you need to see
Leave all the messages blue
Don't even look at the screen

Full body gentle shutdown
So many people to let down
Don't even think about me

Turn off the house
Turn off the house

You're bailing out
You're free of it now

Full body gentle shutdown
So many people to let down
Don't even think about me

Turn off the house
Turn off the house
Turn off the house
Turn off the house

You're bailing out
You're free of it now
You're bailing out
You're free of it now
