I Thought I Saw Your Face Today Lyrics

Cover art for I Thought I Saw Your Face Today lyrics by She & Him

Zooey Deschanel is referencing a book titled "Play It As It Lays" by Joan Didion, which is a very iconic 1970's book about an actress in California. One of the the motifs of the book is her driving her car on the endless "freeways" which this song also refers too.

I'd really recommend the book. This is my favorite She & Him song and after I read the lyrics I love it even more because of this really smart reference.

This is interesting. Thanks for sharing! I will have to read that book.
