The Ghosts of Beverly Drive Songtext

von Death Cab for Cutie

If only you'd had ksnown me
Before the accident
For with that g! rand collision
Came a grave consequence

Receptors overloaded
They burst andz disconnect
Til' there was little feeling
Please work with what is left

Oh, I need not be flattered
That you've never been here before
So there's no need to mention
That you've no firsts anymore

But if you let me be your skyline
I'll let you be the wave
That reduces me to rubble
That looked safe from far away
I don't know why, I don't know why
I return to the scenes of these crimes
Where the hedgerows slowly wind
Through the ghosts of Beverly Drive

I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know what I expect to find
Where all the news is second hand
And everything just goes on as planned

You wanna teach but not be taught
And I wanna sell but not be bought
So let us not be lonesome
So let us not be lonesome
Lost in between our needs and wants

Our needs and wants
I don't know why, I don't know why
I return to the scenes of these crimes
Where the hedgerows slowly wind
Through the ghosts of Beverly Drive
I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know what I expect to find
Where all the news is second hand
And everything just goes on as planned
I don't know why, I don't know why x4
