Gold Rush - Death Cab for Cutie

I’ve ascribed these monuments

A false sense of permanence

I’ve placed faith in geography

To hold you in my memory

(Gold rush) I’m sifting through these wreckage piles

(Gold rush) Through the rubble of bricks and wires

(Gold rush) Looking for something I’ll never find

(Gold rush) Looking for something I’ll never find

(Gold rush) Digging for gold in my neighborhood

(Gold rush) Where all the old buildings stood

(Gold rush) And they keep digging it down and down

(Gold rush) So that their cars can live underground

(Gold rush) It seems I never stopped losing you

(Gold rush) As every dive becomes something new

(Gold rush) And all our ghosts get swept away

(Gold rush) It didn’t use to be this way

Change

(Gold rush) It didn’t use to be this way

(Gold rush) It didn’t use to be this way

Please don’t change

(Gold rush) It didn’t use to be this way

(Gold rush) It didn’t use to be this way

Stay, stay the same

(Gold rush)

It didn’t use to be this way

(Gold rush)

It didn’t use to be this way

Stay the same

(Gold rush) It didn’t use to be this way

(Gold rush) It didn’t use to be this way

Change

(Gold rush)

(Gold rush)

Please don’t change

(Gold rush)

(Gold rush)

Stay

(Gold rush)

(Gold rush)

Stay the same
