death cab for cutie - rand mcnally lyrics

[verse 1]
a rand mcnally atlas, cheap coffee stained
now, i wouldn’t know how to use one with my life at stake
you were waiting on a payphone at a truck stop in houston
trying to call your mother, ’cause she’s a worrier
a handful of twenties in your overcoat
always rolled into a pillow on some stranger’s floor
and you tell these stories with happy endings
only when interrupted before they’re over

[chorus]
but i won’t let the light fade
i won’t let the light fade
chasing these roads into dawns
i won’t let the light fade
i won’t let the light fade
falling asleep in their arms
[verse 2]
it seemed these highways were never+ending
circling odds and evens, the numbers ascending and
searching through static on the wyoming plains
we danced to both kinds of music, as the old joke claims
and i wanted for nothing, i couldn’t rent
we lived on whiskey and twizzlers, and youth’s discontent
with this rand mcnally atlas, dog+eared and frayed
like old testament verses that don’t make sense in this decade

[chorus]
don’t let the light fade
i won’t let the light fade
chasing these roads into dawns
i won’t let the light fade
i won’t let the light fade
falling asleep in their arms
but i won’t let the light fade
i won’t let the light fade
chasing these roads into dawns

[bridge]
and i’m holding on
holding on

[outro]
i won’t let the light fade
i won’t let the light fade
i won’t let the light fade
i won’t let the light fade
i won’t let the light fade
i won’t let the light fade
