Born to Beg by The National
Album: Sleep Well Beast
Released : 2017
Genre: Indie Rock
Crushed on the train, we’d stand by the window
Sweat through the hot parts of June
We hugged it out and ducked it on purpose
Nothing else I needed to do
I was born, born to beg for you
Later that year in the back of the Warsaw
I thought you and I might be okay
Spinning and quiet, you leaned in against me
Said, “I’m gonna have it all someday”
I was born, born to beg for you
I was born, born to beg for you
I’d cry, crawl. I’d do it all
Teakettle love, I’d do anything
I’d cry, crawl. I’d do it all
Teakettle love, I’d do anything
New York is older and changing its skin again
It dies every ten years and then it begins again
If your heart was in it, I’d stay a minute
I’m dying to be taken apart
I was born, born to beg for you
I was born, born to beg for you
I’d cry, crawl. I’d do it all
Teakettle love, I’d do anything
I’d cry, crawl. I’d do it all
Teakettle love, I’d do anything

○ Listen to “The National” Songs
● “I Need My Girl ”
[ Quotable ]
I’m under the gun again
I know I was a 45-percenter then
I know I was a lot of things
But I am good, I am grounded
Davy says that I look taller
But I can’t get my head around it
● “About Today ”
[ Quotable ]
How close am I
To losing you?
Hey
Are you awake?
Yeah, I’m right here
Well, can I ask you
About today?
● “Fake Empire ”
[ Quotable ]
Turn the light, out say goodnight
No thinking for a little while
Let’s not try to figure out everything at once
It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
We’re half awake in a fake empire
