You Had Your Soul With You

You Had Your Soul With You - The National

Lyrics by：Carin Besser

Composed by：Aaron Dessner/Bryce Dessner/Thomas Bartlett

You had your soul with you

I was in no mood

Drift away and I could forget

I had only one last feather left

I wore it on the island of my head

I had only one thing to do

And I couldn't do it yet

You felt like heaven stood up in you

You said love fills you out

It moves you from the skeleton and pulls you around

I got it worse than anyone else

And I just can't find a way to forgive myself

I had only one thing left

And I couldn't see it yet

I have owed it to my heart every word I've said

You have no idea how hard I died when you left

If I yield to my trances

Will I get up close again?

I had only one thing to do

And I couldn't do it yet

I had only one thing left

And I couldn't see it yet

You had your soul with you

I was in no mood

You had your soul with you

I was in no mood
