National, The - Carin At The Liquor Store Lyrics






I was a worm, I was a creature
I get on the ground the second I'd see you
You cannot command your love
I wasn't a catch, I wasn't a keeper
I was walking around like I was the one who found dead John Cheever
Hand in glove

So blame it on me
I really don't care
It's a foregone conclusion

I see you in stations and on invitations
You'd fall into rivers with friends on the weekends
Innocent skies above
Carin at the liquor store, I can't wait to see you
I'm walking around like I was the one who found dead John Cheever
In the house of love

So blame it on me
I really don't care
It's a foregone conclusion

It wasn't so bad, I wasn't that sick
Got taken by love, I wasn't that quick
Foregone conclusion

It's gonna be different after tonight
You're gonna see me in a different light
It's a foregone conclusion

So blame it on me
I really don't care
It's a foregone conclusion

I'm already seeing
Stars in the air
It's a foregone conclusion

  8. J.... H....

    Is there anything better than The National when u really didn’t realize how much you need them in your life right this very second. No. That’s how it feels every time I play them.

  9. m.... ....

    Way better than the last piece of female vocal orientated shit that they recently put out. Looking forward to another 'proper' national album , well hopefully soon. No women please.

  10. B.... F....

    dan, you told me to play this on piano so i'm going to learn it this week. Sorry we don't speak anymore. Miss you but I've tried and you don't care anymore.

  15. C.... M....

    I will now listen to this song when I feel depressed

  16. R.... N....

    What is a foregone conclusion. This is by far my all-time favorite band they could sing the phone book and I'd listen to him totally bummed Mister concert in LA but I had a great time anyways with my company couldn't have been better so I have to continue to listen in my car !

  17. J.... P....

    What guitar is being played on the solo at 2:35??? How do I replicate that sound?

  18. S.... D....

    Fuckin good man.

  19. A.... 1....

    The National been making the soundtrack to my life for years now.....every step of the way and move I make, a song is there to represent it. <3

  20. L.... T....

    This reminds me of a relationship I had a long time ago. He was one of the best people I ever knew but our backgrounds were very different, and "everybody" knew our parting was a "foregone conclusion." It totally was my fault, and I own that. If I could see him, I'd play him this song by way of apology. A at the festival, I can't wait to see you...

  21. R.... B....

    Your lyrics Matt....you are up there with Nick Cave

  22. M.... T....

    He’s just soooo...swamping. I’m just doused.

  29. J.... W....

    Has Matt's voice ever sounded as silky, than in this (yet another) masterpiece?

  30. S.... ....

    I love how black everything actually is in this video.

  31. C.... J....

    No one is going to say anything about that extended pause followed by the most perfect guitar solo for a song immediately after?

  32. M.... S....

    I am now obsessed with all of the short films on YouTube regarding John Cheevers: The Swimmer.

    M.... S....

    I listened to John Cheevers audio of him reading the story while I had this song on repeat. Then I watched commentary on the story and then all of the short films people have made.
    And a few weeks ago when I saw the National at the Hollywood Pallidum, I was the gentleman in the lobby that smelled of chlorine.
