Death Cab For Cutie - What Sarah Said lyrics
[Death Cab For Cutie - What Sarah Said lyrics]
And it came to me then that every plan
Is a tiny prayer to Father Time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself
That I'd already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me
Away from me
Amongst the vending machines
And year-old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind
That our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
And I knew that you were a
Truth I would rather lose
Than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around at all
The eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained it'self
'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous paces bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes 'round
And everyone lifts their head
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die
So who's gonna watch you die?
So who's gonna watch you die?
So who's gonna watch you die?
Is a tiny prayer to Father Time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself
That I'd already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me
Away from me
Amongst the vending machines
And year-old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind
That our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
And I knew that you were a
Truth I would rather lose
Than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around at all
The eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained it'self
'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous paces bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes 'round
And everyone lifts their head
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die
So who's gonna watch you die?
So who's gonna watch you die?
So who's gonna watch you die?
