Death Cab for Cutie

Love of mine, some day you will die
But I’ll be close behind
I’ll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white,
Just our hands clasped so tight,
Waiting for the hint of a spark.
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied,
Illuminate the “no”s on their vacancy signs,

If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks,
Then I’ll follow you into the dark.

In Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule,
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black.
And I held my tongue as she told me,
“Son fear is the heart of love”,
So I never went back.

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied,
Illuminate the “no”s on their vacancy signs,
If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks,
Then I’ll follow you into the dark.

You and me have seen everything to see,
From Bangkok to Calgary.
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down,
The time for sleep is now,
It’s nothing to cry about,
’cause we’ll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms.

If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied,
Illuminate the No’s on their vacancy signs,
If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks,
Then I’ll follow you into the dark.
Then I’ll follow you into the dark.
