The National - Fake Empire
Stay out super late tonight
picking apples, making pies
put a little something in our lemonade and take it with us
we’re half-awake in a fake empire
…
Tiptoe through our shiny city
with our diamond slippers on
…
Turn the light out say goodnight
no thinking for a little while
lets not try to figure out everything at once
It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
I love the mood that this song evokes. Not totally sure what the lyrics mean, but I still like them.

About Me
I have sat around campfires, singing songs late into the night. I have hiked through subfreezing blizzards. I have skied many double black diamonds and slid down one on my chest. I have seen glaciers calve into the ocean. I have explored hidden valleys and secret caves. I have used ice tools and crampons to climb out of a moulin. I have watched a jökulhlaup.I have been the captain of a space shuttle, and I have directed one from Mission Control. I have gazed upon nebulae, and I have seen the moons of Jupiter. I have written stories and poems. I have searched ghost towns and abandoned fortresses for their lost legends.
