Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You Into the Dark (Cover)
I think that it’s brainless to assume that making changes
To your window’s view will give a new perspective
The hardest part is yet to come
Death Cab for Cutie - Marching Bands of Manhattan
I wish we could open our eyes
To see in all directions at the same time
Oh what a beautiful view
If you were never aware of what was around you
And it is true what you said
That I live like a hermit in my own head
But when the sun shines again
I’ll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty or half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown
It’s gotten late and now I want to be alone
All of our friends were here, they all have gone home
And here I sit on the front porch
Watching the drunks stumble forth into the night
You gave me a heart attack, I did not see you there
I thought you had disappeared so early away from here
And this is the chance I never got, to make a move
But we just talk about
The people we’ve met in the last five years
And will we remember them in ten more?
I let you bum a smoke, you quit this winter past
I’ve tried twice before but like this it just would not last
This is fact not fiction, for the first time in years
And all the girls in every girly 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
And I should have given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay…
All the girls in every girly 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
And I should have given you a reason to stay…
Some boys are filling
Some boys are filling the hole
They’re making a killing, at the top of the billing
It’s their role, and that’s all that they know
But some boys don’t listen
Some boys don’t listen at all
They don’t ask for permission, they lack inhibition
No walls, and they get what they want
But some boys don’t know how to love…
Some boys are singing
Some boys are singing the blues
Joylessly flinging with the girls they are bringing
To their rooms, and then leave when they’re through
Some boys are sleeping
Some boys are sleeping alone
Cause there’s no one there keeping, them warm through the evening
And they know, that they’re on their own
Some boys don’t know how to love…
Some boys are filling
Some boys are filling the hole
Some boys are sleeping
Some boys are sleeping alone
Some boys don’t know to love
No some boys don’t know how to love
No some boys don’t know how to love
No some boys don’t know how to love
They won’t get what they want…
You may tire of me
As our December sun is setting, because I’m not who I used to be
No longer easy on the eyes
But these wrinkles masterfully disguise
The youthful boy below
Returned your way and saw
Something he was not looking for
Both a beginning and an end
But now he lives inside
Someone he does not recognize
When he catches his reflection on accident
On the back of a motorbike
With your arms outstretched trying to take flight
Leaving everything behind
But even at our swiftest speed
We couldn’t break from the concrete
In the city where we still reside
And I have learned
That even landlocked lovers yearned
For the sea like navy men
So now we say goodnight
From our own separate sides
Like brothers on a hotel bed…
Like brothers on a hotel bed…
Like brothers on a hotel bed…
Like brothers on a hotel bed…
You may tire of me
As our December sun is setting
Because I’m not who I used to be
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty or half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown
But 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
