Death Cab For Cutie - You've Haunted Me All My Life lyrics
[Death Cab For Cutie - You've Haunted Me All My Life lyrics]
Through endless days and countless nights
There was a storm when I was just a kid
Stripped the last coat of innocence
You've haunted me all my life
You're always out of reach
When I'm in pursuit
Long-winded then suddenly mute
And there's a flaw in my heart's design
For I keep trying to make you mine
You've haunted me all my life
You've haunted me all my life
You are the mistress I can't make a wife
And you've haunted me all my life
And so I wait, but I never seem to learn
How to capture your diminishing returns
I still see you through the eyes of a child
Not even thinking we could tame the wild
You've haunted me all my life
You've haunted me all my life
You are the mistress I can't make a wife
And you've haunted me all my life
You've haunted me all my life
You've haunted me all my life
You are the mistress I can't make a wife
And you've haunted me all my life
