Death Cab For Cutie - Gold Rush lyrics
[Death Cab For Cutie - Gold Rush lyrics]
(Gold rush) Digging for gold
In my neighborhood
(Gold rush) Where all the old buildings stood
(Gold rush) And they keep digging
It down and down (Gold rush) So that their
Cars can live underground
(Gold rush) The swinging of a wrecking ball
(Gold rush) Through these lath
And plaster walls
(Gold rush) Is letting all the shadows free
(Gold rush) The ones I wish still followed me
(Change) Followed me, followed me
(Please don't change)
(Stay) Followed me, followed me
(Stay the same)
(Gold rush) I remember a winter's night
(Gold rush) We kissed beneath
The street lamp light
(Gold rush) Outside our bar
Near the record store
(Gold rush) That have been condos
For a year and more (Gold rush) Now that our
Haunts have taken flight
(Gold rush) And been replaced
With construction sites (Gold rush) Oh
How I feel like a stranger here
(Gold rush) Searching for
Something that's disappeared
(Gold rush) Digging for gold
In my neighborhood
(Gold rush) For what they say
Is the greater good
(Gold rush) But all I see is a long goodbye
(Gold rush) A requiem for a skyline
(Gold rush) It seems I
Never stopped losing you
(Gold rush) As every dive
Becomes something new
(Gold rush) And all our ghosts get swept away
(Gold rush) It didn't use to be this way
(Change) Be this way, be this way
(Please don't change)
(Stay) Be this way, be this way
(Stay the same)
(Cranes) Be this way, be this way
(Devour the light)
(Strange) Be this way, be this way
(Appetite)
I've ascribed these monuments
A false sense of permanence
I've placed faith in geography
To hold you in my memory
(Gold rush) I'm sifting through
These wreckage piles
(Gold rush) Through the rubble
Of bricks and wires
(Gold rush) Looking for something
I'll never find
(Gold rush) Looking for something
I'll never find
(Gold rush) Digging for gold
In my neighborhood
(Gold rush) Where all the old buildings stood
(Gold rush) And they keep digging
It down and down (Gold rush) So that their
Cars can live underground
(Gold rush) It seems I
Never stopped losing you
(Gold rush) As every dive
Becomes something new
(Gold rush) And all our ghosts get swept away
(Gold rush) It didn't use to be this way
Change
(Gold rush) It didn't use to be this way
(Gold rush) It didn't use to be this way
Please don't change
(Gold rush) It didn't use to be this way
(Gold rush) It didn't use to be this way
Stay, stay the same (Gold rush)
It didn't use to be this way (Gold rush)
It didn't use to be this way stay the same
(Gold rush) It didn't use to be this way
(Gold rush) It didn't use to be this way
Change (Gold rush)
(Gold rush) please don't change
(Gold rush, Gold rush)
Stay (Gold rush)
(Gold rush) stay the same
In my neighborhood
(Gold rush) Where all the old buildings stood
(Gold rush) And they keep digging
It down and down (Gold rush) So that their
Cars can live underground
(Gold rush) The swinging of a wrecking ball
(Gold rush) Through these lath
And plaster walls
(Gold rush) Is letting all the shadows free
(Gold rush) The ones I wish still followed me
(Change) Followed me, followed me
(Please don't change)
(Stay) Followed me, followed me
(Stay the same)
