top 10 death cab songs i want TØP/tyler to cover:
(put in album order bc no way am i ranking them skjldfdskl)
passenger seat
when you feel embarrassed
then I'll be your pride
when you need directions
then I'll be the guide
for all time
what sarah said
love is watching someone die
so who's gonna watch you die?
talking bird - demo
but oh, my talking bird
though your feathers are tattered and curled
I'll love you all your days
til the breath leaves your fragile frame
and it's all here for you
as long as you choose to say
it's all here for you
as long as you don't fly away
unobstructed views
there's no eye in the sky
just our love
no unobstructed view
no perfect truths
just our love, just our love
and there's no verse
no monument of words
for our love
for they can't hold
all I know about my love, about my love
st peter's cathedral
st. peter's cathedral
built of granite
ever fearful of the answer
when the candle in the tunnel
is flickering and sputters
and fading faster
it's only then that you will know
what lies above or down below
or if these fictions only prove
how much you've really got to lose
at st. peter's cathedral
there is stained glass
there's a steeple that is reaching
up towards the heavens
such ambition never failing to amaze me
it's either quite a master plan
or just chemicals that help us understand
that when our hearts stop ticking
this is the end
and there's nothing past this
(literally pasted the entire song bc i just love it so goddamn much skdjfdskl)
you've haunted me all my life
you've haunted me all my life
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
when we drive
climb into the back seat and close your eyes
I've got the wheel
and dream of all the places only we will find
I can't expect you to be honest
or to be faithful every day 'til the end
I just need you to always be a friend
until the engine kicks and sputters
until we roll the rubber off the tires
know I'll always need you by my side
when we drive
man in blue
can you hear my voice?
in a high, lonesome rejoice
sing a song for you
in and out of tune
and I just want to understand you
I don't need to be your man in blue
I just want you to see yourself the way I do
I don't need to be your man in blue
rand mcnally - acoustic
with this rand mcnally atlas, dog-eared and frayed
like old testament verses that don't make sense in this decade
don't let the light fade
I won't let the light fade
chasing these roads into dawns
I won't let the light fade
falling asleep in their arms
and I'm holding on
i'll never give up on you
I've given up on confrontation
and I've given up on every politician too
and I've given up on affectations
and the dilettantes they all consume
but I'll never give up, never give up
I'll never give up on you
and for anyone unfamiliar w these songs/death cab in general:

Do you remember N.M.H. and O.T.C
And reading aloud from magazines?
I don't know about you, but I swear on my name they could smell it on me
But I've never been too good with secrets, no
✯ We Looked Like Giants, Car Seat Headrest (Death Cab for Cutie 20th anniversary single)

i, too, relate to sam winchester. not just because of the fact that he is emo, but also because he is terribly, terribly fucked up mentally.
