The National Pretty Forever Lyrics

What would she do if she could kick time?
Would she go back if her arms were mine?
Well would she go back to four-weeks ago
and sell her ever-everything
her ever-everything

And how could she pick and how could she say
Shes already made too many mistakes
She's _____? at the _____?, a little baby was <--- repeated this line a million times and still confused
she'd try vacation if she weren't to smart for that
if she weren't too smart for that

But she wants to be happy forever
She just wants to be high
Yeah, she wants to be pretty forever
She just wants to be time!

Would she be your mother if she had a choice?
Would she make my money if she were a boy?
We'd put her away, but she'd try it again
She'd try it again and keep her mouth shut
Yeah, she'd keep her mouth shut

Well what would we do, if it wouldn't matter
We'd still fall apart, one way or another
and so would the city and so would the East
and so on, and so on...

She wants to be happy forever
She just wants to be high
and she wants to be pretty forever!
She just wants to be time, time!
