Brainy - The National

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

You might need me more than you think you will

Come home in the car you love, brainy, brainy, brainy

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

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
