The National - Baby lyrics

All night I lay on my pillow and pray For my boss to stop me in the hallway Lay my head on his shoulder and say Son, I've been hearing good things I wake up without warning and go flying around the house In my sauvignon fierce, freaking out Take a forty-five minute shower and kiss the mirror And say, look at me Baby, we'll be fine All we gotta do is be brave and be kind I put on an argyle sweater and put on a smile I don't know how to do this I'm so sorry for everything I'm so sorry for everything Baby, come over, I need entertaining I had a stilted, pretending day Lay me down and say something pretty Lay me back down where I wanted to stay Just say something perfect, something I can steal Say, look at me Baby, we'll be fine All we've gotta do is be brave and be kind
