Death Cab For Cutie - New Candles Lyrics

You tried all 13 channels but they burned me out again
'Cause it's over when, whenever they say
I quit sending postcards 'cause no one knew what to [Incomprehensible]
Mailman can't come in to explain

So I'm out of gasoline and I hate to see
And it's hard to never mind, it's hard to never mind

I bought myself new candles, they only burn old flames
Guess, it's all the same anyway
Looked through my high school annuals to see who I still knew
But my point of view's forever changed

All this gasoline just goes to show that no one never minds
It's building up, bottled up in time
All your energy just says to me that you never can't unwind
Just bring it down, bring it down this time

And should it count against me
If I keep everything that you send to me
But are you going to find me?
So the bogs aren't empty all the time

[Incomprehensible]

I think way too much about the way things should be said
'Cause it just can't leave my head all the way
It seems my brand new candles would catch on fire today
Think I might get burned anyway

All this gasoline just goes to show not everything is nice
I do my best but don't know when it's right
All your energy just says to me that you never can't unwind
Just bring it down, bring it down this time
Please bring it down, bring it down
