Death Cab For Cutie - Lightness lyrics

rate me

There's a tear in the fabric of your favorite dress

And i'm sneaking glances.

Looking for the patterns in static

They start to make sense the longer i'm at it.

Ivory lines lead

Oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho

Your heart is a river that flows from your chest

Through every organ

Your brain is the dam

And i am the fish who can't reach the core.

Ivory lines lead

Oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho

Oh, instincts are misleading

You shouldn't think what you're feeling

They don't tell you what you know you should want.

Ivory lines lead

Oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho

Oh, instincts are misleading

You shouldn't think what you're feeling

They don't tell you want you know you should want.

Ivory lines lead

Oo wha-ho.
