Brainy (Live in Brussels) Lyrics by The National

Boxer (Live in Brussels)

2018

[Verse 1]
I've been dragging around
From the end of your coat for two weeks
Everywhere you go is swirling
Everything you say has water under it
You know I keep your fingerprints
In a pink folder in the middle of my table
You're the tall kingdom I surround
Think I better follow you around

[Chorus]
You might need me more than you think you will
Come home in the car you love, brainy, brainy, brainy

[Verse 2]
I've been dragging around
From the end of your coat for two weeks
You keep changing your fancy, fancy mind
Every time I decide to let it go
I was up all night again
Boning up and reading the American dictionary
You'll never believe me what I found
Think I better follow you around

[Chorus]
You might need me more than you think you will
Come home in the car you love, brainy, brainy, brainy
You might need me more than you think you will
Come home in the car you love, brainy, brainy, brainy

[Audience Cheering]
