Title and Registration

Title and Registration is a song by Death Cab for Cutie, and I absolutely adore it. I think I've listened to it almost 50 times today alone. The weird thing about it, though, is that normally I would be really really really fed up with it, but I really can't seem to get enough of it. It's a pretty simple song, but for some reason I just really really really like it. I had seen the music video before, and knew I really liked that song, but now that it's mine, and I have access to it, I've almost become obsessed with it. I'm ok with that though.

Title and Registration

The glove compartment isn't accurately named
And everybody knows it.
So I'm proposing a swift orderly change.

Cause behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm
And all I find are souvenirs from better times
Before the gleam of your taillights fading east
To find yourself a better life.

I was searching for some legal document
As the rain beat down on the hood
When I stumbled upon pictures I tried to forget
And that's how this idea was drilled into my head

Cause it's too important
To stay the way it's been

There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it's gone, it's like it wasn't there at all
And here I rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night

There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade
And now that it's gone, it's like it wasn't there at all
And here I rest where disappointment and regret collide
Lying awake at night, up all night
When I'm lying awake at night.
