The Ghosts of Beverly Drive - Death Cab for Cutie

Like a feeling that I'm down Deep inside my heart Like I'm looking out through splitting blood red Windows in my heart From a higher up than heaven And a harder down than stone Shake the fear that always clawing Pulls me clawing down alone As I spitting, splitting, blood red Breaking windows in my heart And the past is taunting fear of ghosts Is forcing me apart And the further I get From the things that I care about The less I care about How much further away I get And the further I get From the things that I care about The less I care about How much further away I get I am lost again With everything gone And more alone Than I have ever been I expect you to understand, to feel it too But I know that even if you will You cannot ever help me Nor can I ever help you Nor can I ever help you Never ever help you

Late one night behind corn whiskey I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi And the blues came walkin' like a man Without a word I passed that guitar over He tuned it up like I'd never seen A crooked smile was his expression He closed his eyes and then began to sing Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be When I woke up I looked into the mirror I saw no reflection for a while But as my eyes came into focus I recognized that crooked smile Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be Late one night behind corn whiskey I fell asleep with a guitar in my hand I dreamed about the ghosts of Mississippi And the blues came walkin' like a man Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be Oh-oh Lord, why have you forsaken me? Got me down in Mississippi where I don't wanna be I don't wanna be Where I don't wanna be I don't wanna be I already know one thing

Cath, she stands With a well-intentioned man But she can't relax With his hand on the small of her back And as the flashbulbs burst She holds a smile Like someone would hold A crying child And soon everybody will ask What became of you 'Cause your heart was dying fast And you didn't know what to do Cath, it seems That you lived in someone else's dream In a hand-me-down wedding dress With the things that could've been all repressed But you said your vows And you closed the door On so many men Who would have loved you more And soon everybody will ask What became of you 'Cause your heart was dying fast And you didn't know what to do The whispers that it won't last Roll up and down the pews But if their hearts were dying that fast They'd have done the same as you And I'd have done the same as you
