I want to live where soul meets body,
And let the sun wrap its arms around me,
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing,
And feel, feel what it's like to be new,
'Cause in my head there's a Greyhound station,
Where I send my thoughts to far-off destinations.
So they may have a chance of finding a place where,
They're far more suited than here.

BAda-bada ba-bah
bada ba-ba bada ba-bah
bada ba-ba bada-ba
bada bada-bah

I cannot guess what we'll discover,
When we turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels,
But I know our filthy hands can wash one another's,
And not one speck will remain.

And I do believe it's true that there are roads left in both of our shoes, But if the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too.
So brown eyes I hold you near, 'cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.

Where soul meets body.
Where soul meets body.
Where soul meets body.

And I do believe it's true that there are roads left in both of our shoes, But if the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too.
So brown eyes I hold you near, 'cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.




I love Death Cab For Cutie. I also love this song. It is my favorite of theirs. Not only the music, but the lyrics speak to me as well. Favorite quote; “ In my head there’s a Gray Hound station, where I send my thoughts to far off destinations, so they may have a chance of finding a place where their far more suited than here.” Boy, can I relate. Though I love being close to my family, I often find that Dallas just isn’t quite stimulating enough.

On my IPOD, I have engraved “I want to live where Soul meets body.” Mostly because I couldn’t think of anything better & had to order it right that mount. Later, my friend thought of something better; “ Please don’t stop the music.” Brilliant a little too late. None the less, these lyrics mean something to me, & the musical tones in this song are thrilling to me. An upbeat number for the Death Cabs, for sure. Thanks you guys for making music I can think to.

Do these lyrics speak to you? What other songs might lyrically inspire you?
