Bixby Canyon Bridge -
by Death Cab for Cutie
| I descended a dusty gravel ridge | |
| Beneath the Bixby Canyon Bridge | |
| Until I eventually arrived | |
| At the place where your soul had died | |
| And barefoot in the shallow creek | |
| I grabbed some stones from underneath | |
| And waited for you to speak to me | |
| And the silence, it became so very clear | |
| That you had long ago disappeared | |
| I cursed myself for being surprised | |
| That this didn't play like it did in my mind | |
| All the way from San Francisco | |
| As I chased the end of your road | |
| 'cause I've still got miles to go | |
| And I want to know my fate | |
| If I keep up this way | |
| But it's hard to want to stay awake | |
| When everyone you meet | |
| They all seem to be asleep | |
| And you wonder if you're missing your dream | |
| You can't see a dream | |
| You can't see a dream | |
| You just can't see a dream | |
| A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream | |
| A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream | |
| And then it started getting dark | |
| And I trudged back to where the car was parked | |
| No closer to any kind of truth | |
| As I must assume was the case with you |
