Death Cab For Cutie - I Was Once A Loyal Lover

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

@smithyrockson Incredibly so.

@humansforbreakfast I think he means that life in a relationship becomes vapid and empty.

[MsRoflwaffle121]

But now each love's more like a match

A blinding spark that burns out fast

Accurate. Help. O_o

[goku7940]

@humansforbreakfast lol i can explain this. After a two year relationship, i forgot how to love...and that sounds really lame but its true. I get with a girl and im just with her. I sit there waiting for something to happen, for me to feel more. then of course it doesnt work and i dump her

[MrSkydemon64]

NEW ALBUM. MUST GET.

[stefs4]

This song is so me. All my friends are moving in together and getting married.. I don't even think I want that but I feel like I should.

[BlooDDragonsStarGIRL]

Who thinks that life with a nice girl's like

Waiting for a bus to work"

[humansforbreakfast]
