Cover art for Lightness lyrics by Death Cab for Cutie

God, I love this song. Everytime I hear it i just love it more. The last time I heard it was last night on my bed, I had just gotten home from an amazing weekend with the love of my life whom I probably won't see until August....I'm scared to listen to it anymore for fear of breaking down like that again.

oh, instincts are misleading you shouldn't think what you're feeling they don't tell you what you know you should want

That, to me, was like, "Whoa, I've found myself vulnerable and in love....in a place I never thought I would let myself be, feeding every feeling and emotion I could possibly have for someone and thoughts of him just won't SHUT UP!!!" And then everything turns into a run on sentence. Like that. ha.

I love it.
