Bad Reputation Songtext
von Death Cab for Cutie

I know I got a bad reputation
And it isn′t just talk, talk, talk
If I could only give you everything
You know I haven't got
I couldn′t have one conversation
If it wasn't for the lies, lies, lies
And still I wanna tell you everything
'Til I close my eyes

Suddenly I′m on the street
Seven years disappeared below my feet
Been breakin′ down
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?

Suddenly I'm down in Harold Square
Looking in a crowd, your face is everywhere
Been turning round
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?


Don′t try to be an inspiration
Just wasting your time, time, time
You know I'm ′bout the best I'll ever be
I see it in your eyes
I know I got a bad reputation
And it isn′t just talk, talk, talk
If I could only give you everything
You know I haven't got

Suddenly I'm on the street
Seven years disappeared below my feet
Been breakin′ down
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?

Suddenly I′m in another place
Looking in a crowd, I think I see your face
Been turning round
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?

Don't you think I′ve heard the talk
Nobody's gonna tell me who to love
Been breakin′ down
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?


Suddenly I'm down in Hello Square
Looking in a crowd, your face is everywhere
Been turning round
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?

Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?
Do you want me now?

But I′m just breakin' down, down, down, down, down
Been breakin' down, down, down, down, down
Been breakin′ down, down, down, down, down
Been breakin′ down, down, down, down, down
