Death Cab For Cutie - You Are A Tourist Lyrics
This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher
An endless yearning in your heart
Build it bigger than the sun
Let it grow, let it grow
When there's a burning in your heart
Don't be alarmed
This fire grows higher
When there's a doubt within your mind
Because you're thinking all the time
Move along, move along
When there's a doubt within your mind
When there's a burning in your heart
And you think it'll burst apart
Or there's nothing to feel
Save the tears, save the tears
When there's a burning in your heart
And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born
Then it's time to go
And define your destination
There's so many different places to call home
Because when you find yourself the villain in the story you have written
It's plain to see
That sometimes the best intentions are in need of redemptions
Would you agree?
If so please show me
This fire grows higher
When there's a burning in your heart

Death Cab For Cutie You Are A Tourist Comments
This song is really amazing. It's more than an expression. It's a full-on CALL TO ACTION to be good to yourself, and permit yourself to move on past something.
First time I heard this song I was strolling through the my local video store when this it started playing and I stopped in the middle of an isle and watched the video on one of they’re monitors. Ah good times
Chuck and Sarah walker 😍
WHY THIS SONG IS NOT YET IN SPOTIFY??? I DONT WANT THAT STUPID REMIX GIMME THE ORIGINAL FOR FCKS SAKE!
it is...
This was the starting song in the playlist for what became (at the time) a personal best marathon. A great way to start the race.
2020 !!
very cool vibe - easy to strum along with
This song is very nostalgic now. I love this song I heard it first on the top 20 music video countdown in 2011 I wish that was still going!😢
Damn that nostalgia hits HARD!!!! I was a sophomore in high school when this came out .... *sighs* I really miss those days...
such a great song
This song means so much more to me other than a breakup. It’s about being the YOU whose inside and becoming that person that you’re yearning to be. It’s about liberations... to ME!
This..
Fire..
Grows..
Higher.
jamie fisher part kills me!
@wrnchhead yea dude, so many feelings.
@ :50 That walk is beast
fly little dragon.........
this is the most consistent band of all time.
“When there’s a burning 🥵 in your ❤️ an endless fury in your 💜 , build it bigger then the 🌞 let it grow let it grow and there’s a burning in your heart, don’t be alarmed😱.”
I'm 64 years old I mean my body! This is pretty cool 2020!
November 24 Sunday evening
This song makes me want to find myself because I feel so lost, just wanting to drive away and find a cold hilltop to breathe.
Underrated masterpiece
Here because of Colin Morgan's T-shirt
very surprised tom delonge doesn't have a song writing credit on this song look up and i by box car racer even the same drum beat
hayden ralli that album is timeless also.
Lol now I know what it means. Back then when I was a kid I don’t know shit haha
Yo homes if you don't see Him in it's end then we may stand b
My favorite Christmas song
So the dsncers are kind of hot
this song always makes me happy
Still remember when I heard this song on my first year of high school, and I just rediscovered it when I’m in my first year of college! Some things are destined to be together, thanks for this video and the nostalgia trip ❤️
That riff is so catchy and the lyrics are really strong.
Still can’t seeee u.
Ya dingus, this is dr Mike garingus, it's for your health
mike gawlik now I c u :) let’s check it out
Como vengo a señalar ahora y antes callé respecto a DNTEL, utilizó en la canción antes compartida (26) a Ben Gibbard, cantante de Death Cab for Cutie, pues en cada tema cambiaba a los colaboradores. La unión de ambos en aquella mítica "(This is) The dream of Evan and Chan" me permitió descubrir e interesarme por este grupo que ahora comparto y que no conocía. Creo sinceramente que esta maravillosa canción les define bien.
27. Death Cab for Cutie, "You are a tourist".
[https://youtu.be/qkk5wViJo-I]
As close to perfect as one could get!
Drums, strings and vocals all glued together with masterful lyrics!
I would do Hood Shit to work with BEN!
Whoever imagined and created this video is the true artist. The shit these guys are playing I could write n 2 secs. But visually stunning.
I swore to myself that one day i will go to Norway or anyplace that it's cold and snowy and i will listen to this song over and over.
It's true, i feel like a tourist in my place. I have no reason to stay, so it's a good reason to leave, i think. 😣
Another great song for the Earth and it's heartbeating questyfarts
YYYEEEESSSSS
I saw the last 30 second of this live! I kind of forgot about it until the last minute.
I always thought this was a Coldplay song :O
Classic!
♡◐∽ 747∽◐ ♡
Great song that should have received more acclaim. Good lyrics and good hook.
I remember where I was the first time i heard this. Driving over a bridge at dawn with the ocean in the distance. MAGICAL
thekenzosh great memory
One of the best songs & music videos of the 10 years
you have no fucking idea how long it has taken me to find this song
When there's a burning in your heart ❤
The one guy with the stiff walk-- too funny.
Best part of this song is the drums and why isn’t the drummer featured more in. The video? He has the most talent here‘
I don't feel like a tourist in the city I was born I feel like I'm an outsider
Been looking for this song for so long. I know a lot of you relate as well..
ill be that one comment that states that this song can be perceived as having supremacistic undertones. nobody else said it. i have to be that one comment among 100 comments that cant say it
I had this CD. Some jerk broke into my car and stole all my collection!!! Ugh!! Set me back years worth of good music
Best music video ever!!!!!!!
This song inspired me to change my job.
Just saw them play here in Detroit two nights ago. Although they rocked the house, I sorrily missed this tune from the performance. Although their videos don't show it, between playing guitar & piano, lead singer Ben Gibbard has more energy than many professional athletes.
Reminds me off Biffy Glyros
if there was a way to love this song more i would like to find it thank you
@3:44 when there's a bert & ernie in your heart, I go to the library sokka style
I WANT TO DEDICATE THIS SONG TOO ROBYN MARIE PROCTOR,,💘,✌,YOUR FRIEND JOSEPH
Ben is the hipster treasure of the northwest.
Tom DeLonge
I can still remember watching this stream live. It was amazing.
buenisima rola de rock#$%&^&**()))0
Why does the autosuggest for this band call them "Death Cab for a Cute"?
So good
When I worked in a dark plant this song would come on the radio once in awhile
1000 dislikes? -> misguided tourists.
Still listening in 2019! Love this song!
This song makes me think of riding my go-cart in the old neighborhood where I grew up and where my parents still live.
I want to go back with endless supplies of gas in the tank.....😎 I'd still be riding.....
Remember the times that make you happy and hold on tight....
Many blessings to all of you out there....
Love this!
This song keeps me going
All rise for the American national anthem.
I finally found it!!!!
BROWN EYES TO BE NEAR TO PATIENTLY LOVE OF BACK TO GOD AS WE WALKED TOGETHER AS YOU LED ME AS I WAS BLIND AND BOW I SEE THEIR SIN AND STAYS AS HIRRORIC SHOWS TO LIVE DAILY IS MY REALITY AND YOU GOT LONG AGO AND NEVER TOLD AS IT MET 1/2 WAY TO MY SOUL AND BROTHER KNOWS AS HE SAW AND GLASSES NOT STAY ON AS ME TOO AND CALM TO UNKNOWN AND SO MUCH LOVE TO KNOW TO COMFORT YOU AS WENT OUT AND THRU SO MANY THAT MESSED WITH YOU AS I FEEL ABUSE AS I SAW THE CKUE OF SEAL AND REAL AS ANXIETY OF GREET AND MEET AND SONG STAYS IN MY HEAD AS THAT ONE IS MORE AND CANT LET GO BC ITS HARD TO AS YOU KNOW NOW SO LO BO.

FOREIGNERS I WAS TOLD LONG AGO STORY AS UNIVERSITY STUDY GONE PRIVATELY FUNDED FEDERALLY INC AND PROFITS OF THEM IN SIGNS AND TIMES AS CHRIST I SAW IS THERE TOO.
I AM CRZZY I KNOW I APOLOGIZE BUT HE KEEPS SINGING TO ME TO YOU.
Death Cab for Cutie are all clones.
Some love broke my heart.. everything was.. I felt a tourist; lost in my own city.. this song would play on the radio but I could not hold my cry... that burning in my heart changed my life. Love is dangerous; yet nothing surpasses its sentiment.
Finally
Still listening in 2019!
Still the best song ever written
3:10-3:14 — All the bass moves.
Matthew Snyder 😂😂 love it though!
This is a good death cab song...very radio friendly and thus too overproduced..but catchy and fun
OMG - I just realized - DCC is like Canada's Hip. Same look, everything. how freaking awesome is that?
Feb 2019 Ppl
Heard this song from taco bell and I gotta say for an only rap fan, this is so fucking fire
it's like Pavement with autotune.
The base is as tall as he is......lol
Rolaids commercial
Hi My death. I ADORE and miss yall. Our time eternity in My new kingdom forever together . i love y'all. My joy 🌹God💋
If you feel like a tourist in the city you were born in.....you’re in the LOWER EAST SIDE of Manhattan.
'When you find yourself the villian in the story you have written' - That's magic.
I'm about to move to a place far away from where I used to live and from all the people I've met in my life, just to study. I was questioning if that's the best choice, because my parents won't have that much money to keep me here, but when I go home I just feel like a tourist.
Chuck brought me back to this song in 2019
Chuck Bartowski !!! (and Seth Cohen of course)
There's a burning in your fart
2019 😎
Love this band. Great harmonies.
How did I go all the way to 2019 without ever hearing this song before
Unbelievable tones coming through those guitars.. Wow.
I hope they get more recognizement cause I think they are amazing and so inspiring
