Artist: Death Cab For Cutie Album: You Can Play These Songs With Chords (Re-Release) (2002) Title: State Street Residential
Lyrics State Street ResidentialHolding fast until the rent checks wear thin, Because it hasn't sunk in... so far.
Well it's a drab routine, the dust starts building, Until it's hard to come clean.
Then nine months stack up to an addictive crutch, As if the drink weren't enough. A stagger cannot compete. There's no charm in the residential state street.
And if I was sober, Would I kill caution and stay over? And if I was sober, Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
I wish you could know better than you show, With parted lips pointing down. That the whiskey soothes more than you could ever do.
And if I was sober, Would I kill caution and stay over? And if I was sober, Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
And what a difference it'd make. And what a difference it'd make.
And if I was sober, Would I kill caution and stay over? And if I was sober, Would I rip hearts apart like paper?
And what a difference it'd make. And what a difference it'd make. |
