Death Cab for Cutie – Summer Skin Lyrics 18 years ago
This song rocks. It perfectly replicates the summer I had last year. You can say it's about losing your childhood, but have a summer romance and leave for college. Break up over Labor Day weekend. Spend the before you leave with someone you love. Shed your summer skin and go on to bigger and better (even if they don't seem that way at the moment) things. Then let me know what you think of the song. Death Cab has some songs that hit pretty close to home, and this is definitely one of them for me. Wow. Awesome. Go Death Cab :)

Mika – Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) Lyrics 18 years ago
To add my last comment, he wrote the song in about 15 minutes at like 2:30 in the morning. He felt like he was the one to write them a theme song. If you google butterly lounge you can go to the webiste and check it all out. Just fyi :D

As far as I understand, Mika wrote this song after wathcing a documentary made in the US about "The Butterfly Lounge." The website for The Butterfly Lounge claims that it is "The First Size Acceptance
Night Club in Orange County." After watching the documentary, Mika wrote this song. This was one of the first songs I heard by him, he's great!!

Death Cab for Cutie – What Sarah Said Lyrics 18 years ago
So I found this on songfacts.com, and it actually makes a lot of sense:
"Sarah is an acquaintance of lead singer Ben Gibbard. The narrator is the one that is dying. His wife is standing with him waiting for his inevitable death and he is saying that he knew death would come for one of them at some point. She shows her love by standing with him, and he asks her, "who's gonna watch you die?" because he will already be gone. (thanks, David - Denver, CO)"
So I think that clears up any confusion about the "who's gonna watch you die?" line. I love Death Cab. When I actually listened to this song and paid attention to the lyrics, I was close to tears. Go Death Cab!!
