I will Follow you Into the Dark- Death Cab for Cutie

Love of mine some day you will dieBut I'll be close behindI'll follow you into the darkNo blinding light or tunnels to gates of whiteJust our hands clasped so tightWaiting for the hint of a sparkIf Heaven and Hell decideThat they both are satisfiedIlluminate the NOs on their vacancy signsIf there's no one beside youWhen your soul embarksThen I'll follow you into the darkIn Catholic school as vicious as Roman ruleI got my knuckles bruised by a lady in blackAnd I held my tongue as she told me"Son fear is the heart of love"So I never went backIf Heaven and Hell decideThat they both are satisfiedIlluminate the NOs on their vacancy signsIf there's no one beside youWhen your soul embarksThen I'll follow you into the darkYou and me have seen everything to seeFrom Bangkok to CalgaryAnd the soles of your shoes are all worn downThe time for sleep is nowIt's nothing to cry about'cause we'll hold each other soonIn the blackest of roomsIf Heaven and Hell decideThat they both are satisfiedIlluminate the No's on their vacancy signsIf there's no one beside youWhen your soul embarksThen I'll follow you into the darkThen I'll follow you into the dark

 

Transatlanticism- Death Cab for Cutie

The Atlantic was born today and I'll tell you how...The clouds above opened up and let it out.I was standing on the surface of a perforated sphereWhen the water filled every hole.And thousands upon thousands made an ocean,Making islands where no island should go.Oh no.Those people were overjoyed; they took to their boats.I thought it less like a lake and more like a moat.The rhythm of my footsteps crossing flatlands to your door have been silenced forever more.The distance is quite simply much too far for me to rowIt seems farther than ever beforeOh no.I need you so much closer [x8][instrumental break]I need you so much closer [x4]So come on, come on [x4]

 

A Lack of Color- Death Cab for Cutie

And when i see you I really see you upside down But my brain knows better It picks you up and turns you around Turns you around, turns you around If you feel discouraged That there's a lack of color here Please don't worry lover It's really bursting at the seams For absorbing everything The spectrum's a to z This is fact not fiction For the first time in years all the girls in every girlie magazine Can't make me feel any less alone I'm reaching for the phone To call at 7:03 [and] on your machine I slur a plea for you to come home But i know it's too late I should have given you a reason to stay Given you a reason to stay [x3] This is fact not fiction For the first time in years

The Sound of Settling- Death Cab for Cutie

I've got a hungerTwisting my stomach into knotsThat my tongue was tied offMy brain's repeating"if you've got an impulse let it out"But they never make it past my mouth.Baa bah, this is the sound of settlingBaa bah, baa bah[x2]Our youth is fleetingOld age is just around the bendAnd i can't wait to go greyAnd i'll sit and wonderOf every love that could've beenIf i'd only thought of something charming to say.Baa bah, this is the sound of settlingBaa bah, baa bah[x4]I've got a hunger twisting my stomach into knots.

 

Someday You Will Be Loved- Death Cab for Cutie

I once knew a girlIn the years of my youthWith eyes like the summerAll beauty and truthIn the morning I fledLeft a note and it readSomeday you will be loved.I cannot pretend that I felt any regretCause each broken heart will eventually mendAs the blood runs red down the needle and threadSomeday you will be lovedYou'll be loved you'll be lovedLike you never have knownThe memories of meWill seem more like bad dreamsJust a series of blursLike I never occurredSomeday you will be lovedYou may feel alone when you're falling asleepAnd everytime tears roll down your cheeksBut I know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meetSomeday you will be lovedYou'll be loved you'll be lovedLike you never have knownThe memories of meWill seem more like bad dreamsJust a series of blursLike I never occurredSomeday you will be lovedYou'll be loved you'll be lovedLike you never have knownThe memories of meWill seem more like bad dreamsJust a series of blursLike I never occurredSomeday you will be lovedSomeday you will be loved

 

Marching Bands of Manhattan- Death Cab for Cutie

If I could open my armsAnd span the length of the isle of Manhattan,I'd bring it to where you areMaking a lake of the East River and HudsonIf I could open my mouthWide enough for a marching band to march outThey would make your name singAnd bend through alleys and bounce off all the buildings.I wish we could open our eyesTo see in all directions at the same timeOh what a beautiful viewIf you were never aware of what was around youAnd it is true what you saidThat I live like a hermit in my own headBut when the sun shines againI'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in.Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinholeJust like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the soundBut while you debate half empty or half fullIt slowly rises, your love is gonna drown [4x]Your love is gonna drown [4x]Your love is gonna...

 

Title and Registration- Death Cab for Cutie

The glove compartment is inaccurately named And everybody knows it. So i'm proposing a swift orderly change. Cause behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm And all i find are souvenirs from better times Before the gleam of your taillights fading east To find yourself a better life. I was searching for some legal document As the rain beat down on the hood When i stumbled upon pictures i tried to forget And that's how this idea was drilled into my head Cause it's too important To stay the way it's been There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade And now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all And here i rest where disappointment and regret collide Lying awake at night There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade And now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all And here i rest where disappointment and regret collide Lying awake at night (up all night) When i'm lying awake at night.

Soul Meets Body- Death Cab for Cutie

I want to live where soul meets bodyAnd let the sun
