Death Cab For Cutie - Technicolor Girls lyrics

rate me

Technicolor girls are always on the phone

talking about their homes

and the conversations continue endlessly.

Technicolor boys, transistor radios

blasting their treble tones

and the arguments are disputed after school,

in the parking lot as the teachers bend the rules.

Patiently you waited for a courting boy's embrace,

then everyone would know.

But the letter jacket wasn't yours to own

and it proves to be on temporary loan.

And as they all grow older the truth will be understood,

cause we never turn out the way we thought we would.
