Death Cab for Cutie — State Street Residential

Holding fast until the rent checks wear thin Because it hasn't sunk in... so far Well it's a drab routine, the dust storms building And then it's hard to come clean Then the months stack up to an addictive crutch As if the drink weren't enough A stagger cannot compete There's no charm in being residential state street And if I was sober Could I kill caution and stay over And if I was sober Would I rip hearts apart like paper? I wish you could know better than you show With parted lips pointed down That the whiskey soothes more than you could ever do And if I was sober Could I kill caution and stay over And if I was sober Would I rip hearts apart like paper? What a difference it made What a difference it made And if I was sober Could I kill caution and stay over And if I was sober Would I rip hearts apart like paper? What a difference it made What a difference it made
