Death Cab For Cutie - I Was Once a Loyal Lover

Band: Death Cab For Cutie
Track: I Was Once a Loyal Lover
Album: The Open Door - (EP)




~Lyrics~

Will I have learned so very little
When these bones are old and brittle?
I wait to talk when I should listen
And cloud mistakes with false revisions

All my friends are forward-thinking
Getting hitched and quitting drinking
And I can feel them pulling away
As I'm resigned to stay the same

And you can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"

I was once a loyal lover
Whose lips did never seek another's
But now each love's more like a match
A blinding spark that burns out fast

And they all conclude with the same sentence:
"I've never met someone more self-centered
Who thinks that life with a nice girl's like
Waiting for a bus to work"

And you can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
And you can't even begin to believe
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me

If you deem it so
Just cut the cord and go
You'll be fine
There's plenty of hills to climb

You can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
And you can't even begin to believe
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me

Death Cab for Cutie is my greatest source of inspiration. <3

[Nuentendu]

Transit buses often come very fast and many times throughout the day, so he thinks that life is nice when all you have to do is wait for one girl to come and when that ends another one is coming on the way.
