Lyric discussion by between colors 

Cover art for Steadier Footing lyrics by Death Cab for Cutie

i have a friend name tyler & we were very close for 2yrs & always talked of being something more. we ended up having a falling out. the other night, we hung out for the first time in so long. you could feel the tension & the wanting to be together, but instead we just went outside to smoke & talk about trivial things. i spent the night & when he took me home the next morning, he played this song.

it's definitely pulls at the heart strings.
