Riptides

Riptides - Death Cab For Cutie

Lyrics by：Benjamin Gibbard

Composed by：Benjamin Gibbard

These days

I say goodbye without opening my mouth

I just stare into the distance til you figure it out

'Cause I feel

As invested as a border guard

Who's seen too many people leaving

To take it too hard

I'm too tired to talk

I'm too tired to end the war

And I can't seem to hold it together

Anymore

And my Old Haunts

Each one's a trigger and I'm holding the gun

Like a perp frozen in your headlights

Who forgot to run

And I'm overcome

By the voices multiplying in the crowd

That's been swelling in between my ears

And growing frighteningly loud

I'm too tired to talk

I'm too tired to end the war

And I can't seem to hold it together

Anymore

I'm too tired to start

I can't bring you up to speed

There's too many riptides in this ocean

To proceed

And though I'm feeling fine

Roughly half the time

There's a fatal flaw

In my heart's design

I'm too tired to talk

I'm too tired to end the war

And I can't seem to hold it together

Anymore

I'm too tired to start

I can't bring you up to speed

There's too many riptides in this ocean

To proceed

There's too many riptides in this ocean

To proceed
