I Was Once a Loyal Lover Lyrics
When these bones are old and brittle?
I wait to talk when I should listen
And cloud mistakes with false revisions
Getting hitched and quitting drinking
And I can feel them pulling away
As I'm resigned to stay the same
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
Whose lips did never seek another's
But now each love's more like a match
A blinding spark that burns out fast
"I've never met someone more self-centered
Who thinks that life with a nice girl's like
Waiting for a bus to work"
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
And you can't even begin to believe
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me
Just cut the cord and go
You'll be fine
There's plenty of hills to climb
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
And you can't even begin to believe
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me
Pretty straightforward song, but mad catchy.
It is also titled I was once I loyal lover. He was probably burned now he can't settle down?
And you can't even begin to know How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
I love that line. Pretty much anyone can relate to that.
fucking awesome song
I love this song and the EP it's pretty straitforwar. About a man who can't seem to settle down or change.
oh man when i first heard the EP, i immediately fell in love with it. the song is pretty straight forward. someone who doesn't or can't settle with somebody. he knows it, and doesn't care about the effect it has on himself or his love interests.
jacks94, you got it in one sentence. i completely agree.
This song. This EP. Awwwmahgod. I love it. Love it. So yeah, you guys already got the meaning on this one. I've gotta say the first verse is my favorite part. Especially the first 2 lines. I don't know why, or anything.
Yeah I totally agree. There's a lot of emotion in that first verse.. and the delivery is perfect. Awesome melody too.

this song describes so many people in highschool and even middle school they just rush through girlfriends like they go through a pair of shoes this is how i feel sometimes its such an amazing song once again death cab for cutie is my favorite band they are so brilliant and clever and they sound amazing they are the greatest band and no one is even close to their talent
Awesome lyrics, I want to hear this song now. Really sounds like some self-centred guy who can't get over himself and can't get out of a whole he's aware of. Pretty awesome.
I also agree that he is saying that he has become self centered in his relationships. But i think you guys are forgetting the main phrase "I was once a loyal lover, whose lips did never seek another" I think this would imply that he had a naive love that didn't turn out well... causing him to become the way that he is now, not that he's just that way with no reason.

It's like he stopped being able to love wholly due to a previous love. So it's two pronged.
