Death Cab For Cutie - Your New Twin Sized Bed Lyrics






You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed.
With a single pillow underneath your single head.
I guess you decided that that old queen was more space than you would need.
Now it's in the alley behind your apartment with a sign that says it's free.

And I hope you have more luck with this than me.

You used to think that someone would come along.
And lay beside you in a space that they belong.
But the other side of the mattress and box springs stayed like new.
What's the point of holding onto what never gets used?

Other than a sick desire for self-abuse.

And I try not to worry, but you've got me terrified.
It's like you're in some kind of hurry to say goodbye,

You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed.
You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed.

  1. l.... ....

    Love his voice on this. Vocals are really nice.

  2. J.... ....

    This song takes me back to summer, it got me through a breakup.

  3. m.... k....

    “It’s like we’re in some kind of hurry to say good bye.” No matter where I am in life and throughout so many different stages, I always come back to DCFC. Needless to say I’ve been listening to them again 😌 it’s been so healing.

  4. S.... S....

    This song should have WAY more views!!

  5. K.... L....

    seasons come and go and ´Up' can't Rhinemann exchange...;)

  6. H.... W....

    this song reminds me of the army. I bought this CD from the PX circa 2009 during AIT(advanced individual training) at Fort Rucker in Alabama.

  7. M.... T....

    I'm here because of The Regrettes <3

  8. S.... V....

    Always loved this song...calling my name now that I just downsized to a twin myself😜😁😥

  9. A.... P....

    Definitely one of my favs on the album

  10. S.... ....

    one of their very best songs

  11. J.... M....

    One of Death Cab's most underrated songs and one of my favorites

  12. P.... ....

    I had this girl who i thought was something. I bought a queen sized bed for when she arrived. She broke up with me and 2 years later and always look at the spawning of a bed so absent.

  13. E.... L....

    why would you sleep on only one side of a mattress?

    E.... L....

    when you are so used to someone, someone specific sleeping on that side, it's their side. When they are gone it is still their side, the space you experienced with them everynight.

    E.... L....

    @Anietyt Retra Sounds like you speak from experience. You okay?

    E.... L....

    @Endirrin hey, yeah I'm good! Though I've experienced this to a small degree with w a partner a while ago

    E.... L....

    Sometimes I'm lonely. Other times I'm okay being single. I've never been in a relationship.

    E.... L....

    @Endirrin you'll experience it one day! Only good though when it's the right person, otherwise it's best to be alone

  14. H.... i....

    My favorite of the album. Just so beautiful.

  15. l.... ....

    You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed

    And I hope you have more luck with this than me
    You used to think that someone would come along

    It's like your some kind of hurry to say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye
    You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed
    You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed

    oml my classmate just said "I just use a twin sized bed" right when this song started playing in my playlist

  17. j.... F....

    God I know his pain much to well... Its not easy to deal with... I do hope she has more luck then me

  18. P.... K....

    It's amazing how much heartbreak this song brings up when I listen to it. It's an amazing song, it just hurts. DCFC knows me all too well.

    P.... K....

    This album is a masterpiece but I think that plans is even more so. What Sarah said makes me cry every time

  19. H.... V....
