We Looked Like Giants (demo) Songtext
von Death Cab for Cutie

God bless the daylight
The sugary smell of springtime
Remembering when you were mine in 1994
When every Thursday I′d brave those mountain passes
And you'd skip your early classes and we′d learn how our bodies worked

God-damn the black night with all its foul temptations
I've become what I always hated
When I was with you then
We looked like giants in the back of my gray sub-compact
Fumbling to make contact
As your parents slept inside


And from this floor
I can see through your window next door
He's strumming a tune on the toy guitar I gave to you
You throw your head back
So overcome with laughter

Do you remember the J.A.M.C.?
And reading aloud from magazines?
I don′t know about you, but I swear on my name they could smell it on me
And I′ve never been that good at secrets, no

And from this floor
I can see through your window next door
He's strumming a tune on the toy guitar I gave to you
You throw your head back
So overcome with laughter

So overcome with laughter
So overcome with laughter
So overcome with laughter
