Death Cab for Cutie

Your Heart Is an Empty Room

Burn it down 'til the embers smoke on the ground

And start new when your heart is an empty room

With walls of the deepest blue

Home's face

How it ages when you're away

And spring blooms

and you find a love that's true

But you don't know what now to do

'Cause the chase is all you know

and she stopped running months ago

And all you see is where else you could be

when you're at home

And out on the street

are so many possibilities to not be alone

The flames and smoke climbed out of every window

And disappeared with everything that you held dear

But you shed not a single tear

For the things that you didn't need

'Cause you knew you were finally free

'Cause all you see is where else

you could be when you're at home

And out on the street

are so many possibilities to not be alone

End

Go Back
