Best Give Up Lyrics (The Postal Service)

The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

I'm staring at the asphalt wondering / What's buried underneath

I am a visitor here; I am not permanent

And I am finally seeing / Why I was the one worth leaving

Such Great Heights

I am thinking it's a sign / That the freckles in our eyes / Are mirror images / And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned

But it's thoughts like this that catch / My troubled head when you're away / And when I am missing you to death

But everything looks perfect from far away / Come down now but we'll stay

Sleeping In

Last week I had the strangest dream / where everything was exactly how it seemed

Don't wake me, I plan on sleeping in

Nothing Better

Will someone please call a surgeon / Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart / That you're deserting for better company? I can't accept that it's over / Then I will block the door / Like a goalie tending the net in the third quarter / Of a tied-game rivalry

So, just say how to make it right / And I swear I'll do my best to comply

Your heart won't heal right If you keep tearing out the sutures

But you've had your chance, so say goodbye Say goodbye

Recycled Air

I take a breath / And pull the air in till there's nothing left

Calm down, release your cares (Calm down) / The stale taste of recycled air (Stale taste)

Clark Gable

That I'd been waiting since birth to / Find a love that would look and sound / Like a movie

I want so badly to believe / That there is truth, that love is real And I want life in every word / To the extent that it's absurd

I know you're wise beyond your years / But do you ever get the fear That your perfect verse is just a lie / You tell yourself to help you get by

We Will Become Silhouettes

And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs / Pretending the echoes belong to someone / Someone I used to know

I wanted to walk through the empty streets / And feel something constant under my feet

This Place is a Prison

I know there's a big world out there like the one i saw on the screen / In my living room late last night, / It was almost too bright to see

How long must i wait?

Brand New Colony

I want to take you far from the cynics in this town / And kiss you on the mouth We'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene / Start a brand new colony Where everything will change

Natural Anthem

I'll write you a song and I hope that you won't mind / Because all the names and places I have taken from real life

Transatlanticism ~Death Cab for Cutie Version

[spaceoracle]

I'll be the grapes fermented, bottled and served With the table set in my finest suit like a perfect gentlemen I'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick Where you will sit and contemplate your day I'll be the water-wings that save you If you start drowning in an open tab When your judgement's on the brink I'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite albums back As you're lying there, drifting off to sleep (drifting off to sleep) I'll be the platform shoes, undo what heredity's done to you You won't have to strain to look into my eyes (my eyes) I'll be your winter coat, buttoned and zipped straight to the throat With the collar up, so you won't catch a cold I want to take you far from the cynics in this town And kiss you on the mouth We'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene Start a brand new colony Where everything will change We'll give ourselves new names, identities erased The sun will heat the grounds Under our bare feet in this brand new colony (This brand new colony) Everything will change Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Everything will change Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Everything will change Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Brand New Colony by The Postal Service

I wanna take you far from the cynics in this town

And kiss you on the mouth

We'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene

Start a brand new colony

Where everything will change, we'll give ourselves new names

Identities erased

The sun will heat the grounds under our bare feet

In this brand new colony

(In this brand new colony)

Lemon Boy by Cavetown

Lemon Boy and me started to get along together

I helped him plant his seeds, and we mowed the lawn in bad weather

It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him

So I got myself a citrus friend

But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me

You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat

I found out my friends are more of the savory type

And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie

✨Digits and her ambitions for life✨

So Far Away by Crossfade

I've been changin', but you'll never see me now

I've been changin', but you'll never see me now

Now I'm blaming you for everything

No more holding it in, how many years can I pretend

And nothing ever goes the way it should

No more sitting in this place, hoping you might see it going my way

'Cause I don't think you ever understood

That what I'm looking for are the answers

To why these questions never go away.

i'll be the grapes, fermented, bottled, & served with a table set… in my finest suit, like a perfect gentleman… - i'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick, where you will sit… and contemplate your day…

i'll be the water wings, that save you if you start drowning in an open tab, when your judgement's on the brink… - i'll be the phonograph, that plays your favorite albums back, as you're lying there… drifting off to sleep…

i'll be the platform shoes, undo what heredity's done to you - you won't have to strain… to look into my eyes. - i'll be your winter coat, buttons up straight to the throat, with the collar up… so you won't catch a cold.

i want to take you far, from the cynics in this town, and kiss you on the mouth… we'll cut our bodies free, from the tethers of this scene, start a brand new colony: where everything will change… we'll give ourselves new names… identities erased… the sun will heat the grounds… under our bare feet… in this brand new colony… this brand new colony.

(everything… will change… oooh-oooohh…. oooh-oooohh…)

(everything… will change… oooh-oooohh…. oooh-oooohh…)

(everything… will change… oooh-oooohh…. oooh-oooohh…)

2 days ago, i described this song like this:

i like this song but i feel like listening to it is, like i am being rapidly fluctuated inbetween sincere enjoyment of it & being dragged down into a coagulated melted puddle on the floor labelled "vague, undefined Pop that i've heard continuously played as filler noise in public spaces my entire life" i think this feeling would be lessened if the vocalist sang less or at least did so in a way that did not just feel like contextless smooth gliding of the voice across a back-up beat specially engineered to go along with it

i take it back, now. it is perfect.

My scar is from a polar bear, my curse is from a witch / I've caught a giant squid in all the seven seas / I've picked up rocks from distant moons astronomers will discover soon / But I would give them all back just for you

Sax Rohmer #1 - The Mountain Goats

Sailors straggle back from their nights out on the town / Hopeless urchins from the city gather around / Spies from imperial China wash in with the tide / Every battle heads toward surrender on both sides

And I am coming home to you / With my own blood in my mouth / And I coming home to you / If it's the last thing that I do

WE COULD GO OFF TOGETHER - A JONMARTIN MIX

north by north - faded paper figures North by north lest we have to settle down / We can sail without the wind in this town / Things that London never saw / Northern winters start to thaw / To islands on the sea / Lands I've never seen / Things will get calmer — follow me

phosphenes - emily reo Promise to stop depending / On you for comfort and maybe / Pulling the rug from my feet / Would make my standing less shaky / Promise to block the ember / Don't let my body burn, baby / I think the world is ending / So won't you bury me in the...

jupiter 4 - sharon van etten  Our love's for real / How'd it take a long, long time / To let us feel? / Try to relate in my state / And the aura around me says / My love is for real

birthday - the bird and the bee Hold on, hold on / Doing the best we can / I will love you on your birthday / I will love you better than them

brand new colony - the postal service I want to take you far from the cynics in this town / And kiss you on the mouth / We'll cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene / Start a brand new colony

watching the waiting - wye oak  All I know is this / There are times when, to me / You seem to glow from within / And I wonder how this moment could possibly be / And how much was of my choosing / And what chose me

history speaks - deep sea diver Tidal wave / Looms over but never breaks / This is a lonely place / That you understand / And I am yours / When I'm still asleep / You comfort me

wtf - okudaxij Do I take you by surprise? / Can you look me in the eyes? / Am I someone you could trust? / Why'd it take me so long to find you, WTF

worms and angels - echobelly Far away the galaxies soar / The stars are exploding / Still I wish we could fly away, fly away / Here and now / For you and I know / That true love is deathless / These crumbling days are ending

john (a little time) - pavo pavo I remember you there, your downy silver hair / Healthy as an ox in '99 / Turn off the Olympics in your cold hospital bed / and John, if you can hear me, tell me you won't leave me when you go

otp playlist meme

or, in my case, otp single song meme because I suck

the fenders edition, obviously :P (enjoy my fenders sims screenshot bc that’s all i have at the moment) tagged by @schoute THANK YOU <333 I LOVE music memes because I love seeing what people are listening to and finding cool new songs/artists!

however, FULL DISCLOSURE I am terribly unprepared for this and haven’t given it much thought (most of the songs I’ve been listening to lately are either instrumental, abstract, or in a language I don’t understand) so I haven’t really paid attention to what might be ~fenders~. but last week on a long drive I was listening to the postal service album and the perfect fenders song jumped out at me!

“Brand New Colony” - The Postal Service

it’s one of my favorite songs and I think it perfectly captures these two individuals who want nothing more than to leave their past (or present) behind and start anew, free to be their own person, finding solace and understanding (and love) in one another 😍

I’d eventually like to do this with more songs but the only other ones that come to mind right now are sad and more one-sided/unrequited love type songs and I’m not in the mood to angst right now lmao

tagging @lavellanvibes, @dafheannaig13, @maharielz, @mago-emplumado, @feylavellan, @lyrium-lavellan, @arcaneexplosion, and anyone else who wants to do it! no pressure, sorry if you were already tagged! <3
