Death Cab For Cutie - Lightness Lyrics

there's a tear in the fabric of your favorite dress
and i'm sneaking glances.
looking for the patterns in static
they start to make sense the longer i'm at it.

ivory lines lead
oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho

your heart is a river that flows from your chest
through every organ
your brain is the dam
and i am the fish who can't reach the cord.

ivory lines lead
oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho

oh, instincts are misleading
you shouldn't think what you're feeling
they don't tell you what you know you should want.

ivory lines lead
oo wha-ho, oo wha-ho
(x2)

oh, instincts are misleading
you shouldn't think what you're feeling
they don't tell you want you know you should want.

ivory lines lead
oo wha-ho.
(x2)
