Well, first, these lyrics need correcting. "the night is gonna fall" not "and i just gonna fall."
and "when you're looking in the mirror" not "your look in the mirror."
As far as meaning, the lyrics seem to point to creation science.
Do you honestly think that any part of these lyrics point to creation science? Just because there is a mention of "design" in there? Or "Monday"? I really don't think it's the Monday in the biblical sense, I think it's just a reference to a begnning of your life, love, relationship or whatever. As far as I know, Ben is an atheist or at least a rational guy, surely not a believer in stuff like creationism. Besides, listen to "St. Peter's Cathedral" or "I will follow you into the dark". Does he really seem to you like a religious person?...

For me, it's just a private song about his lovely wife (he said it in an interview on Morning Edition) and how he needs her to remain grounded, because otherwise he would fail at life.
I have to agree, I think that any theory that this song is about creation science is over the top. I think that this song is pretty litteral in meaning. In fact, my theory is just that Ben Gibbard and Zooey Deschanel met on a Monday morning.

The first stanza is just a description of Zooey.

Not sure about the second stanza, but maybe just saying that Zooey is a bit of a romantic and a dreamer.

The chorus is about growing old, about time passing.... looking in the mirror and time has passed. And yet the "lines" (wrinkles) and "greys refined" (grey hairs) are fine because age has and will allow their relationship (that "began on Monday morning") to grow.
The last chorus is a bit of an ode to Zooey, that even though time will take a toll on her body, Ben will always see youth/beauty in her...
@capo51 The first thing I thought of was creation science when I heard this song. If you're talking life and death, then mention the map of your design. How else would the design happen? The design had to be created.

Yes, I thought it was weird becuase Ben is basically an athiest.

And Monday morning even furthers the argument as that's when the world was created according to the Bible.

Nothing to do with creation science, critical or otherwise.
