listening over and over

For some reason, I'm really hooked on Death Cab for Cutie's song I Will Possess Your Heart from their latest album Narrow Stairs.

Thanks to last.fm, I've been able to listen to it via video stream all day long. Of the various ones published on the DC4C video tab, I like this one best:



I like the build of the album cut (takes over four and a half minutes to get to the lyrics), but I can also appreciate the radio edit that gets right into it:

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 spe…nd some time with me,
and I know that you'll find love,
I will possess your heart.

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.

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.
