Death Cab For Cutie - The Ghosts of Beverly Drive lyrics

rate me

If only you'd had known me before the accident

For with that grand collision came a grave consequence

Receptors overloaded they burst and disconnect

'til there was little feeling

Please work with what is left

I need not be flattered

That you've never been here before

So there's no need to mention

That you've no firsts anymore

But if you let me be your skyline

I'll let you be the wave

That reduces me to rubble

That looked safe from far away

I don't know why

I don't know why

I return to the scenes of these crimes

Where the hedgerows slowly wind

Through the ghosts of Beverly Drive

I don't know why

I don't know why

I don't know what I expect to find

Where all the news is second hand

And everything just goes on as planned

You wanna teach

But not be taught

And I wanna sell

But not be bought

So let us not be lonesome

So let us not be lonesome

Lost in between our needs and wants

Our needs and wants

I don't know why

I don't know why

I return to the scenes of these crimes

Where the hedgerows slowly wind

Through the ghosts of Beverly Drive

I don't know why

I don't know why

I don't know what I expect to find

Where all the news is second hand

And everything just goes on as planned

I don't know why,

I don't know why

I don't know why

I don't know why

I don't know why

I don't know why

I don't know why

I don't know why
