Death Cab For Cutie – No Room In Frame Lyrics

I don’t know where to begin
There’s too many things that I can’t remember
As I disappeared like a trend¹
And the hum of the 5 in the early morning
And now I’m taking my time
Up through Coalinga through the Valley²
This highway lived in my mind
It takes me back to the place that made me³

Was I in your way
When the cameras turned to face you?⁴
No room in frame for two⁵

You cannot outrun a ghost
Speeding southbound lanes with abandon⁶
It catches you on the coast
Or on the cliffs of the Palisades you killed the engine⁷

And then it hovers above⁸
Reeling bodies failing to discover
A thing they once knew was love⁹
Raising their voices to convince one another¹⁰

Was I in your way
When the cameras turned to face you?
No room in frame for two

And how can I stay in the sun
When the rain flows
All through my veins?¹¹
It’s true

Then I guess it’s not a failure that we could help
We will both go on getting lonely with someone else¹²
With someone else

Was I in your way
When the cameras turned to face you?
No room in frame for two

And how can I stay in the sun
When the rain flows
All through my veins?
It’s true

Then I guess it’s not a failure that we could help
We will both go on and get lonely with someone else
With someone else¹³
