this is one of my favorite death cab songs. since finding out that "to a brownstone, up three flights of stairs" is a velvet underground lyric, i'm pretty certain that this is just a love song to lou reed.
but, that kind of ruined it for me. i was never really sure what this song was about. i thought that in the first stanza ben was singing about a girl that he is sort of amazed by. he doesn't know much about her but he's interested in her. and she lives in new york or recently moved to new york or something like that. still a great song though.
