Bitters & Absolut

The National

[Verse 1]
Sweetie, you don't look so good
Your bottom lip is bleeding
I cut it on your collarbone
Go on, go back to sleep
Sugar, who were you thinking of?
You woke me with your breathing
Honey, how am I supposed to tell?

[Refrain]
If I were a spy in the world inside your head
Would I be your wife in a better life you led?

[Verse 2]
Thought I saw you on the stairs
Of this American century
I went up through all years
You were years ahead of me
Remember when you dipped your hand?
I never saw it coming
You took the wind out of me

[Refrain]
If I were a spy in the world inside your head
Would I be your wife in a better life you led?

[Chorus]
I'd do better than you do
I'd do better than you ever will
When I am on bitters and Absolut

[Refrain]
If I were a spy in the world inside your head
Would I be your wife in a better life you led?

[Chorus]
I'd do better than you do
I'd do better than you ever will
When I am on bitters and Absolut
When I am on bitters and Absolut

[Instrumental Outro]
