Until The Earth Would Open

(album: The National Health - 2012)

I won't survive,
but I intend to have a good time
I will proceed,
but I won't fulfill my every need
I won't survive,
but whoever does?

We could drive until the earth would open
Take me to the verge of England's ocean
Tonight suggests so much

I won't survive
and I'll give redemption a miss
I will proceed
and I will ration the risk
I won't survive.
Nobody does.

We could drive until the earth would open
Take me to the verge of England's ocean
Tonight suggest so much
Hold tight for one last push

I've been saving myself for you
'Cause there's nothing else I can do
I've been saving myself up for you
'Cause there's nothing else I can do

Save all your dignity for me
Or just ignore my selfish plea

I won't survive,
but I intend to have a good time
I will proceed,
but I won't fulfill my every need
Fulfill my needs!

We could drive until the earth would open
Please take me to the verge of England's ocean
Tonight suggest so much
Hold tight for one last push

I've been saving myself for you
'Cause there's nothing else I can do
I've been saving myself up for you
'Cause there's nothing else I can do

Don't punish me
For who I can't be
