New Candles Lyrics
You tried you all 13 channels but they burned me out again
Because it's over whenever they say
I quit sending postcards because no one knows what to read in
And the mailman can't come in to explain
So I'm out of gasoline, and I hate the scene
And it's hard to never mind
It's hard to never mind
I bought myself new candles, but they only burn old flames
I guess it's all the same anyway
Looked through my high school annuals
To see who I still knew
But my point of view's forever changed
All this gasoline just goes to show that no one never minds
It's building up, bottled up in time
All your energy just says to me that you never can't unwind
Just bring it down, bring it down this time
And should it count against me
If I keep everything that you send me?
But are you going to find me?
City parks aren't empty all the time
Union town below, I know
That this will never change
And I think way too much about the way things should be said
Because it just can't leave my head all the way
It seems my brand new candles would catch on fire today
I think I might get burned anyway
All this gasoline just goes to show not everything ignites
I do my best, don't know what is right
All your energy just says to me that you never can't unwind
Just bring it down, bring it down this time
Please bring it down, bring it down
Because it's over whenever they say
I quit sending postcards because no one knows what to read in
And the mailman can't come in to explain
And it's hard to never mind
It's hard to never mind
I guess it's all the same anyway
To see who I still knew
But my point of view's forever changed
It's building up, bottled up in time
Just bring it down, bring it down this time
If I keep everything that you send me?
But are you going to find me?
City parks aren't empty all the time
That this will never change
Because it just can't leave my head all the way
I think I might get burned anyway
I do my best, don't know what is right
Just bring it down, bring it down this time
Please bring it down, bring it down

hm, "New Candles" isn't even a death cab song. And...these are the lyrics to "Styrofoam Plates"
Actully it is a death cab song, and here are the lyrics
You tried you all 13 channels, but they burned me out again 'cause it's over whenever they say I quit sending postcards 'cause no one know what to revere, and the mailman can't come in to explain
So I'm out of gasoline, and I hate see, and it's hard to never mind. It's hard to never mind.
I bought myself new candles, they only burn old flames. I guess it's all the same anyway
Looked through my high school annuals to see who I still knew but my point of view's forever changed
All this gasoline just goes to show that no one never minds. It's building up, bottled up in time
All your energy just says to me that you never can't unwind. Just bring it down, bring it down this time.
And should it count against me, if I keep everything that you send me? Are you going to find me so the bogs? aren't empty all the time?
I think way too much about the way things should be said 'cause it just can't leave my head all the way.
It seems my brand new candles would catch on fire today I think I might get burned anyway
All this gasoline just goes to show not everything is nice. I do my best, not everything is right
All your energy just says to me that you never can't unwind. Just bring it down, bring it down this time. Please bring it down, bring it down.
haha, that's funny. i bet this is a fuck-up from downloading mislabeled internet songs.
it's a good song too. what a pity.
so...does the person singing this song not sound like Ben Gibbard to anyone else? i mean, it just really doesn't sound like him at all.
DEFINITELY not Ben's voice.
ummm actually yes, this is Death Cab for Cutie, maybe you guys should actually take the time and LOOK on their website for the song or any discography
if you have "you can play these songs with chords" it says in the cd booklet that this is the only dcfc song without ben as the lead vocalist. I think this song is awesome though many dismiss it as a cheap through away song.
"i quit sending postcards cause no on knew what to (revere/read in). The mailman cant come in to explain."
come on thats funny. it may or may not have some reference to mr. rogers or something like that but its a pretty cool line.
