The National - Pretty Forever lyrics

What would she do? If she could kick time? Would she go back? Her arms were mine Would you go back to four weeks ago? And tell her everything Whoever everything How could she pick And how could she say She's already made too many mistakes She's first at the walls, little baby ones She tried to cage it if she weren't too smart for that If she weren't too smart for that She wants be happy forever She just wants to be high She wants to be pretty forever She just wants to be tied She be your mother if she had a choice She'd make more money if she were a boy We put her away, but she'd try it again She'd try it again, and keep her mouth shut Yeah, she'd keep her mouth shut What would we do? If it wouldn't matter We'd still fall apart One way or another So would the city And so would the east And so on And so on She wants to be happy forever She just wants to be high She wants to be pretty forever She just wants to be tied
