what sarah said
And it came to me then that every plan
Is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself
That I’ve already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me
Away from me
Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
And I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose
Than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained itself
‘Cause there’s no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes ‘round and everyone lift their heads
But I’m thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die
So who’s gonna watch you die?
what sarah said...death cab for cutie
i just thought i would share with you the song i have been listening to constantly...fantastic lyrics don't you think...vivid description

i dont think that "That reeked of piss and 409" are qualifying for "fantastic lyrics" lol... but the rest is FANTASTIC!

well victoria...considering that this song is not a classic work and is very informal...i think it fits...considering the horidity of even being in a waiting room patiently waiting for someones life to end...for some reason i find it very appropriate...although it is pretty vulgar
