Lyrics Codes and Keys - Death Cab for Cutie, Benjamin Gibbard, Christopher Walla

Codes and Keys

We won’t get far
Flying in circles inside a jar
Because the air we breathe
Is thinning with the words that we speak
That we speak, you and me You and me, you and me That we speak, you and me You and me, you and me You’re on the floor
Fearful of what’s outside your door
But the codes and keys
They can protect you
From the pangs of jealousy
When you scream
Love you see
Like a child
Throwing stones at the sky
When they fall back to earth
As minor chords of major works
Separate rooms of single life
We are one
We are alive
We are alive
We are alive
We are alive
We are alive
