Reasonable Man (I Don t Mind) - The National
I don t mind losing a girl to herself
A quiet love is better than none
And I don t mind losing a friend to a friend
If only to be a reasonable man
Ahhhhh
And I don t mind waiting if it s for the best
A careful heart is better than none
I don t mind painting my back with the past
Pictures in resolute pain
Smoothing the laugh o er the lane
But if it happens to you
The same kind of deal
I recommend fire
Instead of the fool
I don t mind shaking your hand at the door
If only to be a resolute man (Pictures in resolute pain)
If only to be a resolute man
If only to be a resolute man

If only to be a resolute man
If only to be a resolute man
If only to be a reasonable man
