Lyrics:
wheat like waves
the canadian plains were an ocean wide
flowing to the sky
with prefab sprout
echoing out of your ‘90s accord
with the mismatched doors
away from the wives
for just a few days
traveling ‘cross the divide
my delusions ablaze
but a homesteader’s life
at 45 was just a fleeting dream
there’s no way i’d survive
the winters in saskatchewan are so cold
you talked of your kid
how frightened you’d been when she almost died
with tears in your eyes
but i could not pretend
to comprehend the depths of that kind of love
as a childless man
and there’s so little time
so many miles to drive before the endless sleep
eventually arrives
but i never would’ve thought that life was so long
that we’d be growing old
with stories untold
you were kindled by the dials on the dashboard
your tattoos like the stamps upon your passport
speeding like we thought we were escaping
from everything we feared that we were breaking
by trying to hold them in our hands

I work at water zoo in San Diego. I train the dolphins and to do tricks sometime when they are good I will feed them fried chicken
Pickelkilla isn’t a real deathcab fan if he doesn’t like this song
❤
I think we can applaud that.
Deathcab has always been that kind of music that I can put my headphones on and drift away. Right now I'm holding my wife and knowing I'm right where I'm supposed to be!💕
Fantastic
Deathcab is like a slow heavy ride into sad memories. From where you're supposed to be to how it feels when you aren't anymore.
Ben, I miss more acoustic guitar on your musics!
This has officially became my favourite song of Asphalt Meadows in its acoustic rendition! It's really beautiful
Thank you DCFC… a beautiful work of art that will accompany me for a long long time
