There's a tear in the fabric.. Of your favorite dress... And I'm sneaking glances... Looking for the patterns and static that start to make since... the longer i'm at it...
Ivory lines bleed... ohhh well ... ohhhwelll..... Your heart is a river.. that flows from your chest.. through every organ.. your brain is the damn and i am the fish, that can't reach the core.. Ivory lines bleed... ohhh well.. ohhhwellll.... Ohh instincts are misleading... you shouldn't think what your feeling.. They don't tell you why.. You know you should why... Ivory lines bleed... ohhh well.... ohhhhwellll.... Ivory lines bleed.... ohhh well.... ohhhhwellll... Ohhh instincts are misleading.... you shouldn't think what your feeling.. They don't tell you why.. You know you should why... Ivory lines bleed... ohh welll.... Ivory lines bleed... ohhhwelll... |

The glove compartment isn't accurately 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. |

This is the moment that you know
That you told you loved her but you don't. You touch her skin and then you think That she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me. Yeah, she is beautiful but she don't mean a thing to me. I spent two weeks in Silverlake The California sun cascading down my face There was a girl with light brown streaks And she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me. Yeah she was beautiful but she didn't mean a thing to me. Wanted to believe in all the words that i was speaking As we moved together in the dark And all the friends that i was telling And all the playful misspellings And every bite i gave you left a mark Tiny vessels oozed into your neck And formed the bruises That you said you didn't want to fade But they did and so did i that day All i see are dark grey clouds In the distance moving closer with every hour So when you ask "was something wrong?" That i think "you're damn right there is but we can't talk about it now. No, we can't talk about it now." So one last touch and then you'll go And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more But it was vile, and it was cheap And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me Yeah you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me [x2] |

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 sphere When 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 flood lands to your door have been silenced forever more The distance is quite simply much too far for me to row It seems farther than ever before Oh no I need you so much closer [x8] [instrumental break] I need you so much closer [x4] So come on, come on [x4] |

I roll the window down
And then begin to breathe in The darkest country road And the strong scent of evergreen From the passenger seat as you are driving me home. Then looking upwards I strain my eyes and try To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites From the passenger seat as you are driving me home. "do they collide?" I ask and you smile. With my feet on the dash The world doesn't matter. When you feel embarrassed then i'll be your pride When you need directions then i'll be the guide For all time. For all time. |

You were the mother of three girls so sweet
Who stormed through your turnstile And climbed to the street But after conception your body lay cold And withered through autumn and you found yourself old Can you tell me why you have been so sad? He took a lover on a faraway beach While you arrange flowers and chose color schemes Can you tell me why you have been so sad? Can you tell me why you have been so sad? The girls were all there They traded their vows The youngest one glared with furrowed brows They tenderly kissed then cut the cake The bride then tripped and broke the vase The one you thought would spend the years So perfectly paced below the mirror Arriving late, you clean the debris And walked into the angry scene It felt just like falling in love again [x2] Can you tell me why you have been so sad? Can you tell me why you have been so |

God bless the daylight, the sugary smell of springtime
Remembering when you were mine In a still suburban town When every thursday i'd break those mountain passes And you'd skip your early classes And we'd learn how our bodies worked. God damn the black night with all it's foul temptation I become what i always hated When i was with you then We looked like giants in the back of my grey subcompact Fumbling to make contact As the others slept inside And together there In a shroud of frost, the mountain air Began to pass from every pane of weathered glass And i held you closer than anyone would ever get Do you remember the JAMC? And reading aloud from magazines I don't know about you but i swear on my name they could smell it on me I've never been too good with secrets. No... And together there In a shroud of frost and mountain air Began to pass through every pane of weathered glass And i held you closer... |

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE LYRICS
"A Lack Of Color" 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 Absorbing everything The spectrum's a to z This is fact not fiction For the first time in years And 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 |
