Death Cab For Cutie Pity And Fear Lyrics

Pity And Fear Lyrics

I have such a envy for this stranger lying next to me

Who awakes in the night and slips out into the pre-dawn light

No words, a clean escape, no promises or messes made

And chalks it all up to mistake, mistake, mistake



And there are no tears just pity and fear

The vast ravine right in between



A storm at sea, the bow cracked and I was capsizing

I sunk below where I swore I would never go

If you can't stand in place, you can't tell who's walking away

From who remains, who stays, who stays, who stays



And there are no tears just pity and fear

The vast ravine right in between



'Cos there are no tears just pity and fear

And I recall the push more than the fall

The push more than the fall
