Lean Lyrics by The National

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

2013

Everybody needs a prayer and needs a friend
Everybody knows the worlds about to end
Everybody wants to know what the end will be
Everybody wants to look before they leap
Everybody wants a sip of wine to drink
Everybody wants a little more time to think
Everybody needs a reason why they run
Everybody wants to know what they're running from

And I can see your fever's on the rise
I can see the waters in your eyes
And I can see the way the water leaks
Love will lead us all to smithereens

Dying is easy
I believe my love and my love relieves me

Dying is easy
I believe my love and my love relieves me

Said it was everything
Ahhhh

Everybody takes forever to fall asleep
Everybody's got a lie they don't want to keep
Everybody needs a prayer and needs a friend
Everybody knows the worlds about to end

And I can see your fever's on the rise
I can see the waters in your eyes
And I can see the way the water leaks
Love will lead us all to smithereens

Dying is easy
I believe my love and my love relieves me

Dying is easy
I believe my love and my love relieves me

You said it was everything
Ahhhh

And I'm going to let it in
Ahhhh

And I can see your fever's on the rise
I can see the waters in your eyes
And I can see the way the water leaks
Love will lead us all to smithereens

Dying is easy
I believe my love and my love relieves me

Dying is easy
I believe my love and my love relieves me

You said it was everything
Ahhhh

And I'm going to let it in
Ahhhh

Awesome eyes, I need
People all I lean
Awesome eyes, I need
People all I lean. (?)
