Death Cab For Cutie Riptides Lyrics

[Verse 1]
These days I say goodbye without opening my mouth
I just stare into the distance until you figure it out
‘Cause I feel as invested as a boy or a guard
Who's seen too many people leaving to take it too hard

[Chorus]
I'm too tired to talk, I'm too tired to end the war
And I can't seem to hold it together anymore

[Verse 2]
And my old haunts, each one's a trigger and I'm holding the gun
Like a perp frozen in your headlights who forgot to run
And I'm overcome by the voices multiplying in the crowd
It's been swelling inside my ears and growing frighteningly loud

[Chorus]
I'm too tired to talk, I'm too tired to end thе war And I can't seem to hold it together anymore
I'm too tirеd to start, I can't bring you up to speed
There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed

[Bridge]
And I'm feeling fine
Roughly half the time
There's a fatal flaw
In my heart's design

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I'm too tired to talk, I'm too tired to end the war
And I can't seem to hold it together anymore
I'm too tired to start, I can't bring you up to speed
There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed

[Outro]
There's too many riptides in this ocean to proceed
