Lyrics Death Cab for Cutie

Death Cab for Cutie

Steadier Footing

It's gotten late and now I want to be alone

All of our friends were here, they all have gone home

And here I sit on the front porch

Watching the drunks stumble forth into the night

You gave me a heart attack, I did not see you there

I thought you had disappeared so early away from here

And this is the chance I never got

To make a move, but we just talk about

The people we've met in the last five years

And will we remember them in ten more

I let you bum a smoke, you quit this winter past

I've tried twice before but like this, it just would not last
