  • You're sleeping night and day
    How d'you do it?
    Me I am wide awake
    Feeling defeated

    I say your name
    I say I'm sorry
    I know it's not working
    I'm no holiday
    It's nobody's fault
    No guilty party
    We just got nothing
    Nothing left to say

    Another year gets away
    Another summer of love
    I don't know why I care
    We miss it every summer

    I say your name
    I say I'm sorry
    I'm the one doing this
    There's no other way
    It's nobody's fault
    No guilty party
    I just got nothing, nothing left to say

    It all, all catches up to me
    It all, all catches up to me all the time

    I say your name
    I say I'm sorry
    I know it's not working, I'm no holiday
    It's nobody's fault
    No guilty party
    We just got nothing, nothing left to say

    I say your name
    I say I'm sorry
    I'm the one doing this, there's no other way
    It's nobody's fault
    No guilty party
    I just got nothing, nothing left to say

    It all, all just catches up to me
    It all, all catches up to me all the time Writer/s: Aaron Dessner, Bryce Dessner, Matthew D. Berninger

Who writes a song about a name they found in a phone book? That's just one of the everyday things these guys find to sing about. Anything in their field of vision or general scope of knowledge is fair game. If you cross paths with them, so are you.
