Sleep Spent Lyrics
I can’t expel the truth
It’s much more than I thought I could do
And with time, my worth will stain
And split your heart from my name
So drive away your mouth from my ears
And waste a day so I can think clearly
And what’s left to wait for here
As my hands sleep, spent this last year
Choking the bottle's neck
That pulled you from my bed
So drive away your mouth from my ears
And waste a day so I can think clearly
Drive away your mouth from my ears
And waste a day so I can think clearly
It’s much more than I thought I could do
And with time, my worth will stain
And split your heart from my name
And waste a day so I can think clearly
As my hands sleep, spent this last year
Choking the bottle's neck
That pulled you from my bed
And waste a day so I can think clearly
And waste a day so I can think clearly

This song is pretty simple, about him not being able to stop thinking about this girl. The most interesting part is the last line, here he talks about "spent this last year choking the bottle's neck that pulled you from my bed." He's drinking, which you do when you're depressed. Apparently his being depressed is what drove this girl from him in the first place.
Death Cab for Cutie is my favorite band. They're sooooo freakin' good.
this is one of my favorite death cab songs. it's not even about the lyrics. the sound and vibe to it is just choice
this song makes me sleepy. i looooove it.
I love that line "So drive away, your mouth from my ears, and waste a day, so I can think clearly"---Ben Gibbard must drink a lot of alcohol.
I love that line ("So drive away, your mouth from my ears, and waste a day, so I can think clearly")~It's exactly how I feel about my ex.
Ben Gibbard DOES drink a lot of alcohol. And smokes a lot of cigarettes. I would totally get along with him.
i love how there so mellow, and there music just gives you a certain feeling. there lyrics can match up to the sound as well.<3
i just wanna drown my sorrows in a big bottle of whisky and black out to this song
This song helps me sleep. I love it.
