Death Cab For Cutie - Pity and Fear lyrics
[Death Cab For Cutie - Pity and Fear lyrics]
I have such envy for this
Stranger lying next to me
Who awakes in the night and slips
Out into the pre dawn light
With no words, a clean escape
No promises or messes made
And chalks it all up to mistake, mistake
Mistake
And there are no tears, just pity and fear
And a vast ravine right in between
A storm at sea
The bow cracked and I was capsizing
And I sunk below where I
Swore I would never go
If you can't stand in place
You can't tell who's walking away
From who remains, who stays, who stays
Who stays
And there are no tears, just pity and fear
And a vast ravine right in between
Spare no tears, just pity and fear
And I recall the push more than the fall
The push more than the fall
Stranger lying next to me
Who awakes in the night and slips
Out into the pre dawn light
With no words, a clean escape
No promises or messes made
And chalks it all up to mistake, mistake
Mistake
And there are no tears, just pity and fear
And a vast ravine right in between
A storm at sea
The bow cracked and I was capsizing
And I sunk below where I
Swore I would never go
If you can't stand in place
You can't tell who's walking away
From who remains, who stays, who stays
Who stays
And there are no tears, just pity and fear
And a vast ravine right in between
Spare no tears, just pity and fear
And I recall the push more than the fall
The push more than the fall
