Marching Bands of Manhattan

Just finished some bball with my friends.. Im gonna miss that a lot when Im in Shanghai.. but during da game I felt a sore throat emerging..oh pls don't let me be sick . On the side note.. I have been listening to songs from my latest fave band "Death Cab for Cutie" rigorously.. and the song that I have been playin over and over again (yes.. I tend to do that ..when i go crazy for a song) is "Marching Bands of Manhattan" ..its just so sorrowful and mellow. Anyway.. kudos to Kevin aka Wooly for introducing me to so many indie bands...eventho nobody will see this post coz i haven't told anyone about this site yet. WEIRD? maybe.. or just maybe i feel like knowin me better before lettin other ppl read n analyse me... i like being a loner and secluded.. =p



Marching Bands of Manhattan

If I could open my arms
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan
I'd bring it to where you are
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson
And if I could open my mouth
Wide enough for a marching band to march out of
They would make your name sing
And bend through alleys and bounce off other buildings

I wish we could open our eyes
To see in all directions at the same time
Oh what a beautiful view
If you were never aware of what was around you
And it is true what you said
That I live like a hermit in my own head
But when the sun shines again
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty or half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown
Your love is gonna drown
