| Weezer – The Angel and the One Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This is one of the most beautiful songs Weezer has ever made. Easily as good as songs from Blue/Pink. Even if Red has a few iffy decisions, this song is wonderful. | |
| Death Cab for Cutie – Talking Bird Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Uh, Nimby. Those are the same lyrics I posted. | |

Thanks Phonix. I transcribed these from a live solo recording from Ben's previous solo tour. The lyrics changed a little, just like in Cath... I think I prefer the album version to the piano. It's hauntingly beautiful. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – Your New Twin Sized Bed Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Nimby, what mistakes? I transcribed these from a live recording, so they might have been slightly different from the album version, but I've corrected them. I'm still not 100% on the line "Other than to sit and desire for something new." But otherwise, they are correct. | |
| Death Cab for Cutie – Your New Twin Sized Bed Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Ben has said he wanted his lyrics to be more literal. I personally love the new lyrics. | |
| Death Cab for Cutie – Cath... Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| The studio version sounds incredible! | |
| Death Cab for Cutie – Talking Bird Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I really try to refrain from judging a song based on a live recording. Personally, this song is beautiful. | |
| Death Cab for Cutie – Bixby Canyon Bridge Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| Beautiful. This is about Ben going to Big Sur. He spent a couple weeks in a cabin where Jack Kerouac stayed and wrote a large portion of Narrow Stairs there. | |

| Ummm... No. | |
| Death Cab for Cutie – I Will Possess Your Heart Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
Written by Ben Gibbard for Paste Magazine: "The single on our record is a work of fiction that was inspired by things that happened to some people close to me. It’s called “I Will Possess Your Heart,” and it’s eight-and-a-half minutes long. It’s five minutes of build and then a three-minute song. The song is basically about a stalker. It’s about this nice guy who wants this girl he can’t have, and he believes they’ll be together once she realizes how great he is—he just has to wait it out. That’s the part that makes the song really creepy, the delusion of thinking that they were meant to be together. It’s a really dark song. A lot of the material is about the inevitable disappointment people feel as they move through life, and things don’t feel the way they expect. No experience will ever match up to the idealized version in your mind." |

Lyric submitter here. Sorry about the different lyrics. I submitted a version of this as well as another author and it seems they put my name over his lyrics. I just edited to my original, and the correct, lyrics. Love the song. Great lyrics. For those complaining about the intro, listen to the radio edit and stop complaining. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – The Ice Is Getting Thinner Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I absolutely love this song. Reminds me exactly of the last two months of my previous relationship. I can't wait for Narrow Stairs in May! | |
| Death Cab for Cutie – A Lovely Affair Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| I'm one of the largest DCFC fans out there, but I've never heard of this song. Where can I find it? | |
| John Mayer – In Your Atmosphere Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| He played it last night! I'm so glad I flew out there to see his show. | |
| Angels and Airwaves – Lifeline Lyrics | 16 years ago |
| This and Rite of Spring are my favorites off the new album. Tom's voice is fantastic on this song. | |
| Interpol – Pioneer to the Falls Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Am I the only one that hears: Always concealed Safe and inside A lie It makes MUCH more sense for that to be the lyric instead of alive. |
|
| John Mayer – Simmering Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Interesting that he rewrote the lyrics and made it into Belief. | |
| John Mayer – Covered In Rain Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
These days with the world getting colder She spends more time sleeping over Than I'd planned Tonight were gonna order in Drinking wine and watching CNN It's dark I know but then again It's the brightest thing I got When I'm covered in rain, rain When I'm covered in rain, rain From fireworks to fireplaces Summer stole what fall replaces And now we're people watching All the people, people watching us right now Standing by the missing signs at the CVS by the checkout line She puts her quiet hands in mine Cause shes the brightest thing I got When I'm covered in rain, rain When I'm covered in rain, rain, rain, rain Oh, I'm covered in rain Oh, I'm covered in rain Oh, I'm covered in rain Come December, Lydia left She mentioned something about it being for the best And I can't say I disagree It's killing me Now we're standing facing west Tracing my fingers 'round her silhouette I haven't gotten used to it yet But it's the brightest thing I've got When I'm covered in rain, rain Those are the correct lyrics for the Any Given Thursday version. |

| Death Cab for Cutie – For What Reason Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I just got back from a DCfC concert and they played this. It was fantastic. I've never released how awesome this song is until I heard it live. | |
| The Fray – Dead Wrong (Demo) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This is an earlier rendition of Dead Wrong from HTSAL. If your lucky, its still up on the Garage Section on Area93.com. The main differences are some who's are changed to that's and the "probably kill me slowly". | |
| The Fray – Over My Head (Cable Car) Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song was partially written about Isaac's brother Caleb (Caleb/Cable). It's also partially about Isaac's time in his High School Knowledge Bowl and how he felt about it. | |
| The Fray – Trust Me Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Isaac has said this song is about growing older. | |
| The Fray – Oceans Away Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is a fantastic song. One of the best off of Reason. Here's an article with Isaac talking about it: "When I was 19, I started looking at the songs and how all my friends weren't connecting with my music. I pretty much threw them away, literally, and then broke up with my first girlfriend and chose to throw caution to the wind and write about that. That's actually a song on our second EP called "Ocean's Away." It was actually the first song I wrote about my life." -Isaac |
|
| The Fray – Little House Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This was written about an old friend of the bands. I believe its about someone who made a horrible mistake and is now beating themselves up over it. They want to let it go, but they can't. | |
| The Fray – Look After You Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This was the first love song that Isaac ever wrote. This is a great song to hear live because he gets everyone into it by having the crowd sing the Oh, Oh, Oh part. | |
| The Fray – It's For You Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This song can be found on the Movement EP. One of Joe's songs. This song is about when you love someone so much that you would do anything for them. It's a really beautiful song. If you can get ahold of it, get it. |
|
| The Fray – Where You Want To Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song can be found on the Movement EP. One of Joe's songs. It's pretty obvious that its about a someone wanting a girl and wanting to be with her. | |
| The Fray – How To Save A Life Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
This is such a powerful song. Definitly one of the best on HTSAL. Isaac has said that this song is about him mentoring a crack addicted teen. |
|
| Blink-182 – Untitled #2 (Demo) Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I'm got it on my iPod and I'm listening to this song right now, so yes, it does exist. | |
| Blink-182 – Better Days Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Great song. | |
| Interpol – Evil Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I agree with both youdontloveme19 and shinyshinypeachman. If you think of it in terms of the video, I think it means that there was a car crash where the girl died, but the guy lived. He left town and has felt lonely and empty ever since. "It took a lifespan with no cell mate" That line just embodies loneliness to me, like someone is stuck in jail for life with no one to talk to. "The long way back. Sandy, why can't we look the other way?"" He returns to try and make ammends with Sandy who is the friend/mother/relative of Rosemary thinking that she will forgive him because of how long its been. On the other hand, shinyshinypeachman could also be correct (and is probably correct because of Pauls comment). A lot of those lyrics can make sense when you think of someone masturbating on the beach when all of a sudden "Sandy" catches him and he's asking her to "look the other way" and forget about it. |
