Hindsight Lyrics
Three wasted years, standing still
As you opened up, 18 miles wide
On this country drive
I can't keep up
Because you're so far gone
And it's all too much hindsight
Three wasted years, wasting time
As the hunger pains grow inside
I can't keep up
Because you're so far gone
And it's all too much hindsight

A Lack of Color
i think this song is pretty self-explanatory
i like this song...LOTS!
i'm another person since i know death cab.... i thank them a lot...i mean ...suddenly i discovered "real music"... and i'm glad that i got to know them before i die
long live the quiet
My last boyfriend broke up with me after exactly three years. And since I was at his house, 200 miles away from my own, I had to make that drive of shame home, alone, on that open country road. It's like it's FOR me.
wow. these lyrics. amazing much... gosh and no one comments this song because? because they suck perhaps... haah well obviously self explanatory... but i think that he put a great deal of emotion into this. i mean three wasted years. only leaving a bigger void, and then just being part of distant past. ah goood stuff
makes me think....about how I myself, and many others I know, don't have regrets about life. Maybe it's a nominal statement, and they are hiding their hurt.
Anyways, I've only been in two long-term relationships (3 yrs and 2 yrs), and at first I regretted them when I broke up with the girls. But it took me time to get over it.
But now that I'm about to graduate college, I feel like the stakes are a little bit different since it's the working world now. And it makes me wonder...will this song ever speak to me?
Although it's a beautiful song, I hope that i can never relate to it from a personal standpoint.
Cheers to DCFC!
this song has so very few comments! on the itunes originals cd you can purchase from itunes (naturally) they state that they did something funky with this song, although i don't really recall. something about the guitars and the amps to make the sound more... ba boom? sorry im bad at this, really.
this song is hypnotizing. you can tell its their old work and it really doesn't sound like death cab, but its very very good.
DC4C FTW!!!!!!
after years of listening to death cab, this is still one of my favorite songs by them, only second to bend to squares.
i agree with you.. i flip flop this is #1 and bend is #2..right on tho
