For What Reason - Death Cab for Cutie

This won’t be the last you hear from me

It’s just the start

I hope that he keeps you up for weeks

Like you did to me

I will hold a candle up to you

To singe your skin

Brace yourself, I’m bent with bitterness

And can’t foresee

When your apologies fail to ring true

So slick with that sarcastic slew

Of phrases like, «I thought you knew»

While keeping me in hot pursuit

Tracing the plot finds

Skin touching skin

Absence follows

In the end, I win every time

As ink remains

Sour tastes prevail as you play back

The tape machine

When your apologies fail to ring true

So slick with that sarcastic slew

Of phrases like, «I thought you knew»

While keeping me in such hot pursuit

Tracing the plot finds

Skin touching skin

Absence follows
