Death Cab For Cutie - Photobooth Lyrics






I remember when the days were long,
And the nights when the living room was on the lawn.
Constant quarreling, the childish fits, and our clothes in a pile on the ottoman.
All the slander and double-speak
Were only foolish attempts to show you did not mean
Anything but the blatant proof was your lips touching mine in the photobooth.

And as the summer's ending,
The cool air will put your hard heart away.
You were so condescending..
And this is all that's left:
Scraping paper to document.
I've packed a change of clothes and it's time to move on.

Cup your mouth to compress the sound,
Skinny dipping with the kids from a nearby town.
And everything that I said was true,
As the flashes blinded us in the photobooth.
Well, I lost track, and then those words were said.
You took the wheel and you steered us into my bed.
Soon we woke and I walked you home,
And it was pretty clear that it was hardly love.

And as the summer's ending,
The cool air will rush your hard heart away.
You were so condescending.
And this is all that's left:
Scraping paper to document.
I've packed a change of clothes and it's time to move on.

And as the summer's ending,
The cool air will rush your hard heart away.
You were so condescending,
As the alcohol drained the days.

And as the summer's ending,
The cool air will rush your hard heart away.
You were so condescending.
And this is all that's left:
The empty bottles, spent cigarettes.
So pack a change of clothes, 'cause it's time to move on.

  7. S.... P....

    I'm here because of the Homestar Runner Main Page 21.

  8. c.... ....

    That drum beat is from a toy keyboard I had when I was five. Always trips me out when I hear it on this. Great song.

    c.... ....

    I had this keyboard too. When he pressed one of the buttons he played these beats. Nostalgic!

  11. C.... ....

    This is my favorite guitar riff of all time.

    Death Cab is still amazing. Life, love and music are all about growth =)

  19. s.... ....

    this is julien Baker's song now

    s.... ....

    @1 1 Every song she's written is better than anything Death Cab has ever done imo. Lyrically speaking of course.

    s.... ....

    @N She is in a completely different league in my opinion... Death Cab only has two songs I like. IWFYITD and Soul Meets Body. But none of that matters because you don't know how to have a conversation without attacking the person you're talking to.

    s.... ....

    She did a great job, but no, it will always be this one

  20. K.... B....

    Amaze balls track...

  21. K.... M....

  22. a.... ....

    This has been my safety net since i was around 12 years old and im 23 now

  23. D.... S....

    My first song that I ever liked by them. Great band.

    D.... S....

    Desolate Soul this song just gives me chills

  24. B.... I....

    isn't this from the John Byrd EP?

    B.... I....

    Umm I don't think so.

    B.... I....

    the forbidden love ep

    B.... I....

    +Jared Allen there is a live version of it on the John Byrd EP, but the studio version is from the forbidden love ep

    B.... I....

    @Adventures in Emotional Instability ok thanks man good info.

  25. M.... C....

    what's that thing in those bleak winter branches? a lady's sexy high-heeled orange boot?

    M.... C....

    thanks bro

    M.... C....

    Lol, to me it looks like a Victorian Boot.

  26. p.... ....

    Cup Your Mouth to Compress the Sound

    p.... ....

    Childish fits.

  27. g.... ....

    the cold air will rush your hard heart away...

  28. A.... L....

    DCFC is one of the best bands ever! I always wake up to this! :)

  29. G.... ....

    I woke up and put this on.. and my tears started racing. I miss how the sun would hit her eyes in the morning when she would look at me. I miss the clouds on her face where her lips should be..

    G.... ....

    Billy'd to the Hilt hahah

    G.... ....

    Well...This song seems to be about NOT loving someone and being happy to be apart from them. They had sex, when he walked her home he realized he didn't love her. "We woke an I walked you home, and it was pretty clear that it was hardly love. "Constant quarreling, the childish fits..You were so condescending". I think it's the wrong song to be love sick to.

  30. A.... T....

    God I miss this DCFC

  31. a.... ....

    Best dcfc song.

  32. s.... ....
