Rand McNally - Death Cab for Cutie

作词：Benjamin Gibbard/Dave Depper

A Rand McNally atlas

Cheap coffee stained

Now I wouldn't know how to use

One with my life at stake

You were waiting on a payphone

At a truck stop in Houston

Trying to call your mother 'cause she's a worrier

Handful of twenties in your overcoat

Always rolled into a pillow on some stranger's floor

And you tell these stories with happy endings

Only when interrupted before they're over

But I won't let the light fade

I won't let the light fade

Chasing these roads into dawns

I won't let the light fade

I won't let the light fade

Falling asleep in their arms

It seemed these highways were never ending

Circling odds and evens

Their numbers ascending

Searching through static in the Wyoming plains

We danced to both types of music

As the old joke claims

And I wanted for nothing

I couldn't rent

We lived on whiskey and Twizzlers and youth's discontent

With this Rand McNally atlas dog eared and frayed

Like Old Testament verses that don't make sense in this decade

Don't let the light fade

I won't let the light fade

Chasing these roads into dawns

I won't let the light fade

I won't let the light fade

Falling asleep in their arms

I won't let the light fade

I won't let the light fade

Chasing these roads into dawns

And I'm holding on holding on

I won't let the light fade

I won't let the light fade

I won't let the light fade

I won't let the light fade

I won't let the light fade

I won't let the light fade
