Death Cab For Cutie – What Sarah Said

And it came to me then that every plan
Is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself
That I’ve already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me
Away from me

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
And I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose
Than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained itself

‘Cause there’s no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes ’round and everyone lift their heads
But I’m thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die

So who’s gonna watch you die…?

  1. I LOVE THEM !!
    lsn also to “lack of color” and ” i will follow you “

  2. Yeah those songs are good but this one by far is their best. I just can’t get over how good the lyrics are. Brilliant writing and the melody too is capturing.

  3. i love Death cab for cutie XD

    if that’s the type of music you listen to you should check out Chairlift – Bruises it’s a great song and snow patrol has tons of great songs i think you’ll like them :D

  4. Haifa, I’m not really into Death Cab for Cutie although they have a few good songs. What Sarah Said is their best work in my opinion!
    I’ll check Chairlift inshallah! Thanks for the advice
    I love most of Snow Patrol’s stuff. Great band indeed
