I don't care too much for this sentiment
I was on the outside, inside the day
We can find an easy way out.
No you control the weather and I'll pay the rent
We could be happy in this settlement
We could find an easy way out
Until it founds you, the ever slow-burn of many years behind you
Minutes before you reconcile.
I don't care too much for mourning the dead
We can find another, be happy again
We can find a easy way out, we can find an exit out.
And if your love should go, without a care
It's only us to throw, into you, into you.
I don't care too much for this sentiment
We've gone through the motions of our regret
We can find an easy way out.
Oh you control the weather and I'll pay the rent
We can be happy, no we can be happy-
If we could find an easy way out
Until it founds you, the ever slow-burn of many years behind you
Minutes before you reconcile, I'll follow you
I don't care too much for this sentiment
We can find an easy way out, we can find an exit out.
Ooh We can find an easy way out, we can find an exit out.

I'm not a fan of The National, and I love this.

I thought this was a National that didn't actually suck,



Yes and no. 
I like how piano melody from Regina Spector - Genius Next Door merges into this tune's piano melody.

Fans of  The National don't think this sounds like The National.

The homage to Kraftwerk (Storeroom Dummies) must also be mentioned.
 

It's "Showroom Dummies" from the album TEE, 1977
Greetings from Germany 👋
First time hearing this and it's an easy 9 for your boy,

Thanks for the lesson RP, be sure I'm taking notes!

Dangit, embedding didn't work. Here's an updated version of the song I'm thinking of. (It's that "Christmas Treat" song from SNL, if you don't wanna click.) 
 

Holy crap - that's funny.  I hear it now, too.

I wish there was more Kraftwerk on RP, or is that what you meant by 'the playlist'

Every time I hear this, I am surprised at how many different rhythms are going on in here, and how much orchestration and artistry...

 
And astounding lyrics- very personal & powerful 
I can be very happy by just listening to this song.
I recently bought this album - it's really quite good!
I've enjoyed the growth of OT for a few years now, but this album is truly incredible. They have found their sound and I'm in love {#Yes}
Wonderfully melancholic. I just had a deja-vu.
