New Candles Songtext
von Death Cab for Cutie

You tried all 13 channels, but they burned me out again
′Cause it's over when, whenever they say
I quit sending postcards ′cause no one know what to revere
And the mailman can't come in to explain

So I'm out of gasoline, and I hate to see, and it′s hard to never mind
It′s hard to never mind

I bought myself new candles, they only burn old flames
I guess it's all the same anyway
Looked through my high school annuals to see who I still knew
But my point of view′s forever changed


All this gasoline just goes to show that no one never minds
It's building up, bottled up in time
All your energy just says to me that you never can′t unwind
Just bring it down, bring it down this time

And should it count against me, if I keep everything that you send to me?
Are you going to find me, so the bogs aren't empty all the time?
Bringing it down, I know, I know, this will never change
I think way too much about the way things should be said
′Cause it just can't leave my head, all the way
It seems my brand-new candles would catch on fire today
I think I might get burned anyway

All this gasoline just goes to show not everything is nice
I do my best, don't everything is right
All your energy just says to me that you never can′t unwind
Just bring it down, bring it down this time

Please bring it down, bring it down
