Death Cab for Cutie — Expo 86

[Verse 1] Sometimes I think this cycle never ends We slide from top to bottom then we turn and climb again And it seems by the time that I have figured what it's worth The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse But if I move my place in line, I'll lose And I have waited, the anticipation's got me glued I am waiting for something to go wrong I am waiting for familiar resolve [Verse 2] Sometimes it seems that I don't have the skills to recollect The twists and turns of plot that turned us from lovers to friends I'm thinking I should take that volume back up off the shelf And crack its weary spine and read to help remind myself But if I move my place in line, I'll lose And I have waited, the anticipation's got me glued [Verse 3] I am waiting for something to go wrong I am waiting for familiar resolve I am waiting for another repeat Another diet fed by crippling defeat And I am waiting for that sense of relief I am waiting for you to flee the scene As if you held in your hand the smoking gun And on the floor lay the one you said you loved [Bridge] And it's strange They're all basically the same So I don't ask names anymore [Verse 4] Sometimes I think this cycle never ends We slide from top to bottom, then we turn and climb again And it seems by the time that I have figured what it's worth The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse [Outro] The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse
