Song lyrics
Synapse to synapse; the possibility's thin. I'm dressed up for free drinks
and family greetings on your wedding date. The figures in plastic on your
wedding cake that I took were so real. And I kept a distance:
the complications cloud the postcards and blips through fiber optics,
as the girls with the pigtails were running from little boys wearing bowties
their parents bought: I'll catch you this time!

Crashing through the parlor doors, what was your first reaction?
Screaming, drunk, disorderly: I'll tell you mine. You were the one
but I can't spit it out when the date's been set. The white routine
to be ingested inaccurately.

Synapse to synapse: the sneaky kids had attached beer cans to the 
bumper so they could drive up and down the main drag. People would turn
to see who's making the racket. It's not the first time.
When they lay down the fish will swim upstream and I'll contest but they
won't listen when the casualty rate's near 100%, and there isn't a
pension for second best or for hardly moving...

i totally agree; sad, yet insanely addictive.
this track and no joy in mudville makes a really good couple and not a single day goes by without me listening to them both.
ben gibbard is my god. writing lyrics like he does, it's just not human!

isn't it about this guy (ben who is singing) loving this woman who is getting married to a different man? that's the sad senario i believe, and it is sad, but the lyrics and melody of this song are truely beautiful. ben gibbard is my hero!
