Death Cab for Cutie Lyrics

The new Death Cab song "I Will Possess Your Heart" is being played rather regularly here in C-bus (and no doubt will become "overplayed" to some). At first I thought it was a decent song, kept trying to place the guys voice (Postal Service, duh!), and then the other morning driving to work I heard it in an entirely different light. It was like God was saying to me "This is my song to you." It sounds so trivial when I type this out - but it really hit me hard in the car. So I started listening more closely to the lyrics. It's an amazing song....

I Will Possess Your Heart
Death Cab For Cutie

How I wish you could see the potential of you and me
It’s like a book elegently bound but in a language that you can’t read just yet

You gotta spend some time with me and I know that you’ll find love
I will possess your heart

There are days when outside your window I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective when we’ll be lovers, lovers at last

You gotta spend some time with me and I know that you’ll find love
I will possess your heart

You reject my advances and desparate pleas
I won’t let you let me down so easily
You gotta spend some time with me and I know that you'll find love

I will possess your heart
