New Candles - Death Cab for Cutie

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 read in

And the 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

I 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, bottle rocket time

All your energy just says to me that you never can 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?

Are you going to find me so the bogs aren’t empty all the time?

With Union down you know I know this will never change

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

I think I might get burned anyway

All this gasoline just goes to show not everything ignites

I do my best, I don’t know what is 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
