Fragments From The Decade lyrics - Death Cab For Cutie

 Fragments from the decade are splayed out on your floor

Like hundreds of locked doors

There's a story that you're trying to find

But the pieces don't fit together in your mind

Your mother was a drunkard, your father was not a saint

Your sister lacked restraint

And in photos you were always staring through the lens

To some distant place you would rather have been

Days are lonely and long

Walking in place where you don't belong

Here on paved native lands

Time disappears from the palms of your hands

Fragments from the decade are dancing in the fire

Like marionettes on wires

And if you stare too long they almost seem alive

Too beautiful and helpless to survive

Days are lonely and long

Walking in place where you don't belong

Here on paved native lands

Time disappears from the palms of your hands

Time disappears from the palms of your hands

Time disappears from the palms of your hands
