Song lyrics
(guy)
Would someone please call a surgeon
who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
that you're deserting for better company 

I can't accept that it's over
and I will block the door
like a goalie tending the net
in the third quarter
of a tied game rivalry 

so just say how to make it right
and I swear I'll do my best to comply 

tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better
than making you my bride and slowly growing old together 

(Girl)
I feel I must interject here
you're getting carried away
feeling sorry for yourself
with these revisions and gaps in history 

so let me help you remember
I've made charts and graphs
that should finally make it clear
I've prepared a lecture
on why I have to leave 

so please back away and let me go 

I can't my darling; I love you so
oh oh 
(guy)
tell me am I right to think that there could be nothing better
than making you my bride and slowly growing old together. 
(girl)
Don't you feed me lies about some idealistic future
Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures 
(guy)
I know that I have made mistakes
and I swear I'll never wrong you again 
(girl)
You've got a lure I can't deny
but you've had your chance
so say goodbye 

Say goodbye

yeah... this is the best song on the album, other than "brand new colony'. if you guys like death cab too you should check out "we looked like giants" on Transatlanticism and "blacking out the friction" on The Photo Album.

Yeah, there are too many excellent songs in this album, it's hard to choose just one! I can't relate to the song, but heck - I love it anyway!

I can totally relate to this one. The first time I fell in love the feeling wasn't returned with the same fervor, and like a fool, I demanded reasoning, logic, and practical explaination, as if it were an objective theory as opposed to a gut feeling which is of course inexplicable in nature. The satirical section where she claims to have prepared charts, graphs, and a lecture really hit home, and remind me just how unfair I was to her. I'm sorry Amy.

ok yeah to whoever called the postal service emo whats with that they are nowhere near emo they are only extasy but don't worry we still love you. everyone makes mistakes. I went on a postal spree this summer and made sure everyone I know listened to them and I didn't meet one person who now doesn't love them thats how great they are. plus it's the perfect music to sleep to. I can't pick a favorite but if I had to I would probably have to go with nothing better just because of when the girl comes in who is she I have to meet her amazing voice the first time I heard it i almost cried. and I just have to say sleeping in, the district sleeps alone and clarck gable are awsome who's with me on this! sry emo dude but get it right! oh and benjamin Gibbard (thats the guy who does this and death cab, plus he's a solo artist um yeah)

this is a crazy amazing song... i love it

the guy from postal service is able to do both postal service and death cab for cutie(excellent band, check our passenger seat and expo 86) because with postal service he just adds his voice to the tracks and alters them as he sees fit. its just the two guys in postal, the singer and the electronic guy... its ill

The Postal Service is technically electronic...most of their songs are excellent. However, Death Cab is definitely emo...sorry kids. I'm not too much of a Death Cab fan, personally I think they're generic emo made for kids who're angry at their parents, but hey whatever floats your boat.
