Death Cab For Cutie - Little Wanderer lyrics

rate me

You sent a photo out your window of Tokyo

Telling me you were doing fine

You said the cherry blossoms were blue

And that I was on your mind

But I couldn’t make you out through the glitches

It’s all how it seems to go

So we say our goodbyes over messenger

As the network overloads

When the network overloads

You’re my wanderer

Little wanderer

Off across the sea

You’re my wanderer

Little wanderer

Won’t you wander back to me?

Back to me?

Always fall asleep when you’re wakin’

I count the hours on my hands

Doing the math to the times zone you’re at

Was an unseen part of the plan

But if you will be my bluebird returning

Then I will be your evergreen

Standing tall in your horizon

Guiding you home to me

Guiding you home to me

You’re my wanderer

Little wanderer

Off across the sea

You’re my wanderer

Little wanderer

Won’t you wander back to me?

You’re my wanderer

Little wanderer

How I wish that you could see

Little wanderer

Little wanderer

How I need you back with me

Back with me

You sent a photo out your window of Paris

Of what you wished that I could see

But someone’s got to be the lighthouse

And that someone is got to be me

And I hope your absence makes us grow fonder

I hope we always feel the same

When our eyes meet past security

And we’re embracing in the baggage claim

When we kiss in the baggage claim

You’re my wanderer

Little wanderer

Off across the sea

You’re my wanderer

Little wanderer

Won’t you wander back to me?

You’re my wanderer

Little wanderer

How I wish that you could see

Little wanderer

Little wanderer

How I need you back with me

Back with me
