Death Cab For Cutie - Bixby Canyon Bridge






I descended a dusty gravel ridge 

beneath the Bixby Canyon Bridge 

Until I eventually arrived 

at the place where your soul had died. 



Barefoot in the shallow creek, 

I grabbed some stones from underneath 

and waited for you to speak to me. 



And the silence; it becamse so very clear 

that you had long ago dissapeared. 

I cursed myself for being surprised 

That this didn't play like it did in my mind. 



All the way from San Francisco 

As I chased the end of your road 

Cause I've still got miles to go. 



And I want to know my fate 

If I keep up this way. 



And it's hard to want to stay awake 

When everyone you need, they all seem to be asleep. 

And you wonder if you missed your dream. 



You can't see a dream 

You can't see a dream. 

You just can't see a dream. 



And then it started getting dark. 

I truged back to where the car was parked 

No closer to any kind of truth 

as I assume was the case with you.
