DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - The Ice Is Getting Thinner
The Ice Is Getting Thinner
We’re not the same, dear, as we used to be.
The seasons have changed and so have we.
There was little we could say, and even less we could do
To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you.
We bury our love in the windsory grave
Along came the snow, that was all that remained.
But we stayed by its side as the days turned to weeks
And the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we’d speak.

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - Pity And Fear
Pity And Fear
I have such a envy for this stranger lying next to me
Who awakes in the night and slips out into the pre-dawn light
With no words, a clean escape, no promises or messes made
And chops it all up to mistake, mistake, mistake
And there are no tears
Just pity and fear
No vast ravine
Right in between

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - Long Division
Long Division
His head was a city
Of paper buildings
And the echoes that remained
Of old friends and lovers
Their features bleeding
Together in his brain
And once it started was harder to
Tell them apart
He was always distracted
By the very mention
Of an open door
‘Cause he had sworn not to be what he’d been before
To be a remain remain remain remainder [x2]
The television was snowing softly
As she hunted for her keys
She said she never envisioned him the type of person capable of such deceit
And they carried on like long division
And it was clear with every page
That they were further away from a solution that would play
Without a remain remain remain remainder [x4]
He had sworn not to be what he’d been before
To be the remain remain remain remainder [x6]
DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - Your New Twin Sized Bed
Your New Twin Sized Bed
You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed.
With a single pillow underneath your single head.
I guess you decided that that old queen holds more space than you would need.
Now it’s in the alley behind your apartment with a sign that says it’s free.
And I hope you have more luck with this than me.

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - Grapevine Fires
Grapevine Fires
When the wind picked up
And the fire spread
And the grapevines seemed left for dead.
And the northern sky, like the end of day,
The end of days.
A wake up call to a rancid room
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom.
To warn us it’s only a matter of time.
Before we all burn [4x]

DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE - You Can Do Better Than Me
You Can Do Better Than Me
We’re starting to feel
We stayed together out of fear
Of dying alone
I’ve been slipping through the years
My old clothes don’t fit like they once did
So they hang like ghosts
Of the people I’ve been
It’s like my heart can’t take
My fall in love every day
And I feel like a fool
