Death Cab For Cutie - You’ve Haunted Me All Your Life lyrics

rate me

You have haunted me all my life

Through endless days

And countless nights

There was a storm

When I was just a kid

Stripped the last code of innocence

You have haunted me all my life

You are always out of reach

When I am in pursuit

Long winded then suddenly mute

And there is a flaw in my heart's design

For I keep trying to make you mine

You have haunted me all my life

You have haunted me all my life

You are the mistress

I cannot make a wife

And you have haunted me all my life

And so I wait

But I never seem to learn

How to capture your diminishing returns

I still see through the eyes of a child

Not even thinking we could tame the wild

You have haunted me all my life

You have haunted me all my life

You are the mistress

I cannot make a wife

And you have haunted me all my life
