'Cause they've told you about them
How you could reach out and gain something better
But there's too much in-between for you to see clearly
And your trust keeps on dying to make it all even harder
And they say you'd finally end up surrounded by any of them
While you think of ways to escape, to fly away
'Cause it feels so different to try the unknown
...knowing how much risking has broke your heart
They might be right, and my head crushes on this thought
Seeing myself walking and nodding along towards them
Sad visions of what I thought I was will stare at me
Singing tunes of shame and wondering what led me to it
'Cause they've told me about them
And I've met them as well, always with an exit pass
Aware of the danger of staying too long
But risking with each visit, each night, each permission I give myself
Lyrics by Death Cab For Cutie
Cath, she stands with a well-intentioned man
But she can't relax with his hand on the small of her back
And as the flashbulbs burst
She holds a smile like someone would hold a crying child
And soon everybody will ask what became of you
'Cause your heart was dying fast, and you didn't know what to do
Cath, it seems that you live in someone else's dream
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
Where the things that could have been are repressed
But you said your vows, and you closed the door
On so many men who would have loved you more
And soon everybody will ask what became of you
'Cause your heart was dying fast, and you didn't know what to do
The whispers that it won't last roll up and down the pews
But if their hearts were dying that fast,
They'd have done the same as you
And I'd have done the same as you
But she can't relax with his hand on the small of her back
And as the flashbulbs burst
She holds a smile like someone would hold a crying child
And soon everybody will ask what became of you
'Cause your heart was dying fast, and you didn't know what to do
Cath, it seems that you live in someone else's dream
In a hand-me-down wedding dress
Where the things that could have been are repressed
But you said your vows, and you closed the door
On so many men who would have loved you more
And soon everybody will ask what became of you
'Cause your heart was dying fast, and you didn't know what to do
The whispers that it won't last roll up and down the pews
But if their hearts were dying that fast,
They'd have done the same as you
And I'd have done the same as you
