The National

Do you like The National?
Or, is it too pretentious.  
I've watched their Tiny Desk 
over and over...
 
Drinking Pink Rabbits
 
"You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a television version of a person with a broken heart"
 
I almost sent it to you
the song
from the start
but, I was worried 
like me... 
 
It might break your heart 
 
"Old sad dads"
the comments said
maybe, so
 
But, man, those 
old sad dads
they can have my soul
The National
 
Anyway, 
I just thought you 
ought to know
 
When I am 
"sitting in my thinking chair
drinking pink rabbits"
You are
the one I think about

"You didn't see me I was falling apart
I was a television version of a person with a broken heart"
 
"A white girl in a crowd of white girls in the park"

You didn't see me
I was falling apart
Rest softly, 
little rabbit
on my broken heart
