Carparts Lyrics
I’m leaving you all my carparts
I didn’t have the money or I would have gotten roses
You pulled one more highball than I had to go before my heart overflowed
Ceiling tiles and highway signs flowin through my mind
You put all your hope in my slim chance, my slim chance
You put all your hope in my slim chance, I didn’t know why
I’m leaving under cover of darkness
I never had a home where I didn’t need tide
I’ve seen every lover leave me the same way
The harder they are, the harder I try
That’s a lie, but I said it with a smile
You put all your hope in my slim chance, my slim chance
You put all your hope in my slim chance, I didn’t know why
You put all your hope in my slim chance, I don’t even have cigarettes
I don’t even have cigarettes
baby wasn’t down with the heist
you know baby wasn’t down with the heist
I just tried to do it all, for once, right
But baby wasn’t down with it, she wasn’t down
I’m leaving you all my carparts, I’ll call you when I’m comin back again if I can
I mean to quit stealing as soon as I steal for the last time
At least my watch is right two times a day
You put all your hope in my slim chance, my slim chance
You put all your hope in my slim chance, I didn’t know why
You out all your hope in my slim chance, I don’t even have cigarettes
I don’t even have cigarettes
I didn’t have the money or I would have gotten roses
You pulled one more highball than I had to go before my heart overflowed
Ceiling tiles and highway signs flowin through my mind
You put all your hope in my slim chance, I didn’t know why
I never had a home where I didn’t need tide
I’ve seen every lover leave me the same way
The harder they are, the harder I try
That’s a lie, but I said it with a smile
You put all your hope in my slim chance, I didn’t know why
You put all your hope in my slim chance, I don’t even have cigarettes
I don’t even have cigarettes
you know baby wasn’t down with the heist
I just tried to do it all, for once, right
But baby wasn’t down with it, she wasn’t down
I mean to quit stealing as soon as I steal for the last time
At least my watch is right two times a day
You put all your hope in my slim chance, I didn’t know why
You out all your hope in my slim chance, I don’t even have cigarettes
I don’t even have cigarettes

this is the catchiest song ever. i can never get it out of my head. the long winters are completely awesome
I love this song.
It's really sad, but really happy at the same time.
I think it's about someone with a lot of determination, but not a lot of money, so they leave their town/city/whatever to try to start a new life, even though they know they've not got much of a chance.
Totally agree, P3n0r.
Yep. It's about being in love and being broke. The opening line might be my favourite first line of any song ever. Ben Gibbard plays drums on this one, fact fans.
These are the actual lyrics from the website:
I’m leaving you all of my car parts I didn’t have the money or I would have gotten roses You poured one more highball But I had to go before my poor heart overflowed Ceiling tiles and highway signs are flowing through my mind
You put all your hope in my slim chance I didn’t know I had
I’m leaving under cover of darkness I never had a home where I didn’t need to hide I’ve seen every lover leave me the same way The harder they are the harder I try That’s a lie, but I say it with a smile
You put all your hope in my slim chance I didn’t know I had I don’t even have cigarettes
Baby wasn’t down with the heist I just tried to do what I thought was right But baby wasn’t down with it She wasn’t down
I’m leaving you all of my car parts I’ll call you when I’m coming back again if I can I mean to quit stealing as soon as I steal for the last time At least my watch is right two times a day
You put all your hope in my slim chance I didn’t know I had I don’t even have cigarettes
And here is a link to a free download of the mp3, also off The Long Winters website, so it's legit. http://music.barsuk.com/Long.Winters_Carparts.mp3
The one thing I wanna know is what the heck "At least my watch is right two times a day"?
rokbom:
The watch is right two times a day because it's broken.
Just following the broke theme.
I wish I knew how to change these lyrics, but it's "you POURED one more highball" not "pulled." What the hell? "Pulled" doesn't even make any sense... oh well.
I saw that someone posted the correct lyrics, but how do you change them on the site?
OP has to change the lyrics, unfortunately they haven't. There needs to be some way to fix them without being OP.
