I Will Possess Your Heart (08:35)
Death Cab for Cutie • Narrow Stairs
How I wish you could see the potential, the potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound, but in a language that you can't read - just yet
You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart (x2)

There are days when outside your window, I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective, when we'll be lovers, lovers at last
You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart(x2)

I will possess your heart (x2)
You reject my advances and desperate pleas
I won't let you, let me down so easily, so easily

You gotta spend some time--love, you gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find--love, I will possess your heart (x3)

I will possess your heart (x2)

No Sunlight (02:40)
Death Cab for Cutie • Narrow Stairs
When I was young
Lying in the grass
I felt so safe
In a warming bath
Of sunlight, of sunlight

Vast open sky
Could do no harm
Like an embrace
Of a mother's arms
In sunlight, in sunlight
In sunlight, in sunlight

With every year
That came to pass
More clouds appeared
Till the sky went black
And there was no sunlight, no sunlight
And there was no sunlight, no sunlight anymore

It disappeared at the same speed
The idealistic things I believed
And the optimist died inside of me

No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight, no sunlight

It disappeared at the same speed
The idealistic things I believed
And the optimist died inside of me

No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight, no sunlight
No sunlight anymore

Cath... (03:50)
Death Cab for Cutie • Narrow Stairs
Cath, she stands with a well-intentioned man
but she can't relax with his hands on the small of her back
and as the flash bulbs burst
she holds a smile like someone would hold a crying child

and soon everybody will ask what became of you
and your heart was dying fast, and you didn't know what to do

Cath, it seems that you live in someone else's dream
in a hand-me-down wedding dress
where the things that could have been are reppressed
but you said your vows, and you closed the door
on so many men who would have loved you more

and soon everybody will ask what became of you
and your heart was dying fast, and you didn't know what to do

the whispers that it won't last roll up and down the pews
but if their hearts were dying that fast,
they'd have done the same as you
and i'd have done the same as you

Talking Bird (03:23)
Death Cab for Cutie • Narrow Stairs
One, two, three, four

Oh, my talking bird
Though you know so few words
They're on infinite repeat
Like your brain can't keep up with your beak

And you're kept in an open cage
So you're free to leave or stay
And sometimes you get confused
Like there is a hint that I'm trying to give you

The longer you think
The less you'll know what to do

It's hard to see your way out
When you live in a house in a house
'Cause you don't realize
That the windows were open the whole time

But, oh, my talking bird
Though your feathers are tattered and furled
I'll love you all the days
Till the breath leaves your delicate frame

It's all here for you
As long as you choose to stay, hey
It's all here for you
As long as you don't fly away

Grapevine Fires (04:07)
Death Cab for Cutie • Narrow Stairs
When the wind picked up, the fire spread
And the grapevine seemed left for dead
And the northern sky looked like the end of days
The end of days

The wake-up call to a rented room
Sounded like an alarm of impending doom
To warn us it's only a matter of time
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
Before we all burn
Before we all burn

We bought some wine and some paper cups
Near your daughter's school when we picked her up
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
On a hill

And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
As she laughed and danced through the field of graves
There I knew it would be alright
That everything would be alright
Would be alright
Would be alright
Would be alright

And the news reports on the radio said it was getting worse
As the ocean air fanned the flames
But I couldn't think of anywhere I would've rather been
To watch it all burn away, to burn away

''Burn
Burn
Burn''

The firemen worked in double shifts
With prayers for rain on their lips
And they knew it was only a matter of time

Pity and Fear (04:21)
Death Cab for Cutie • Narrow Stairs
I have such envy for the stranger lying next to me
Who awakes in the night and slips out into the predawn light
With no words: a clean escape, no promises or messes made
And chalks it all up to mistake, mistake, mistake

There are no tears, just pity and fear
And the vast ravine right in between

A storm at sea, the bow cracked and I was capsizing
And I sunk below where I swore I would never go
If you can't stand in place, you can't tell who's walking away
From who remains, who stays, who stays, who stays

There are no tears, just pity and fear
And the vast ravine right in between

There are no tears, just pity and fear
And I recall the push more the fall
The push more the fall...
