So, Narrow Stairs will get a proper album review post in due time because I haven't let the album fully cycle enough to write anything of significance, but I just wanted to say that "Your New Twin Sized Bed" is already one of my favorite tracks off of the album. Something about it just puts knots in my stomach, and that is just such an awesome thing to come by in a song. Thank you Death Cab, for everything. I mean it -- everything.
[tried to upload the song, but unfortunately iTunes sucks and loves DRM, so I leave you with some lyrics]
You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed
With a single pillow underneath your single head
I guess you decided that that old queen holds more space than you would need
Now it's in the alley behind your apartment with a sign that says it's free
And I hope you have more luck with this than me
You used to think that someone would come along
And lay beside you in a space that they belong
But the other side of the mattress and box springs stayed like new
What's the point of holding onto what never gets used?
Other than to sit and desire for something new
And I try not to worry, but you've got me terrified
It's like you're in some kind of hurry to say goodbye
