Bixby Canyon Bridge
Death Cab For Cutie
Narrow Stairs (2008)

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

In the silence it became so very clear that you had long ago disappeared
I cursed myself at 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, it's hard to want to stay awake

When everyone you meet, they all seem to be asleep
And your wonderfulness (?) in my dream
You can't see a dream, you can't see a dream
You just can't see a dream

A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream
A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream
A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream

And then it started again in dark, I trudged back to where we call this part
You're closer to any kind of truth, as I must assume as it came from you
