20th Century Towers lyrics

Song information

Artist: Death Cab For Cutie
Album: Stability

Lyrics

We'll correct collegiate mistakes
A shower of formal ideals
Completely soused
The hearts on our sleeves
As they drowned we could hear them screaming
"Oh, what a tragic way to see our final days."

I attempt to talk up the town:
"The answers are in the arches of the 20th century towers
And in comfortable cars in motion."
And yet it still remains, this incessent refrain:
"You're just like the rest. your restlessness makes you lazy."

Keeping busy is just wasting time
And I've wasted what little he gave me
(All around) I know the conscious choice was crystal clear
To clean the slate of former years:
When I sang softly in your ear and tied these arms around you
