You've Haunted Me All My Life Songtext
von Death Cab for Cutie

You′ve haunted me all my life
Through endless days and countless nights
There was a storm when I was just a kid
Stripped the last code of innocence

You've haunted me all my life
You′re always out of reach when I'm in pursuit
Long winded then suddenly mute
And there's a flaw in my heart′s design
For I keep trying to make you mine


You′ve haunted me all my life
You've haunted me all my life
You are the mistress I can′t make a wife
And you've haunted me all my life

And so i wait but i never seem to learn
How to capture your diminishing returns
I still see through the eyes of a child
Not even thinking we could tame the wild

You′ve haunted me all my life
You've haunted me all my life
You are the mistress I can′t make a wife
And you've haunted me all my life

You've haunted me all my life
You′ve haunted me all my life
You are the mistress I can′t make a wife
And you've haunted me all my life
