Once Upon a Poolside is about, according to the lead singer Matt Berninger on a interview on Uncut Magazine, “the feeling of having to become the frontman every night, even when still in the depths of his depression. Walking onstage to sing their songs, at a time when he could barely even hold a con...
Once Upon a Poolside Lyrics
[Verse 1: Matt Berninger]
Don't make this any harder
Everybody’s waitin'
Walk-on's almost over
Teenagers on ice
Try to keep my distance
Talkin’ of forgiveness
Once upon a poolside
Underneath the lights
[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Sufjan Stevens]
What was the worried thing you said to me?
[Verse 2: Matt Berninger]
I'll follow you everywhere
While you work the room
I don't know how you do it
Tangerine perfume
I'm not doin' anyone
Any kind of favors
Watchin' airplanes land
And sink into the pavement
[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Sufjan Stevens]
What was the worried thing you said to me?
[Bridge: Matt Berninger]
I can't keep talking, I can't stop shakin’
I can’t keep track of everything I'm taking
Everything is different, why do I feel the same?
Am I asking for too much? Can’t hеar what you're sayin'
[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Sufjan Stevens]
What was the worried thing you said to mе?
I thought we could make it through anything
[Bridge: Matt Berninger]
This is the closest we've ever been
And I have no idea what’s happenin'
Is this how this whole thing is gonna end?
This is the closest we've ever been
[Verse 3: Matt Berninger]
Don't make this any harder
Everybody's waitin'
Walk-on's almost over
Teenagers on ice
Try to keep my distance
Talkin' of forgiveness
Once upon a poolside
Underneath the lights
[Chorus: Matt Berninger & Sufjan Stevens]
What was the worried thing you said to me?
I thought we could make it through anything

What did The National say about "Once Upon a Poolside"?
It starts with this image of being about to go onstage, and the song you walk out to is almost over and you can’t stall it anymore. You have to go to get started, you have to do this thing. The song, it feels very much like a prologue to a complicated mess. There’s something about the line, which is...
