Death Cab for Cutie – Marching Bands of Manhattan Lyrics 18 years ago
my favourite death cab song definitely

If I could open my arms
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan
I'd bring it to where you are
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson


And if I could open my mouth
Wide enough for a marching band to march out
They would make your name sing
And bend through alleys and bounce off all the buildings


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 say
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 going to drown

Death Cab for Cutie – Crooked Teeth Lyrics 18 years ago
this is a great song, kinda relates to what ive been going through.

i think this song is about a relationship that he started which was never gonna work.

"Because I built you a home in my heart
With rotten wood that decayed from the start"

and

"I'm a war of head versus heart
And it's always this way
My head is weak, my heart always speaks
Before I know what it will say"

hes sayin that his heart always wins over his head. so he actually knew it wasnt gonna work, but he went on with the relationship.

"you cant find nothing at all, if there was nothing there all along"
i think this means there never was anything in the relationship or something.

im quite confused about the rest of the song though
