This sparse, slow ballad is close to the midpoint of Death Cab’s 2015 album Kintsugi. Following a very straight-forward song about Ben Gibbard’s current girlfriend, this song is much vaguer. It seems to express Gibbard’s frustrations with his lifelong romantic failures. In that way, the “you” the so...
[Verse 1]
You've haunted me all my life
Through endless days and countless nights
There was a storm when I was just a kid
Stripped the last coat of innocence
[Verse 2]
You've haunted me all my life
You're always out of reach when I'm in pursuit
Long-winded then suddenly mute
And there's a flaw in my heart's design
For I keep trying to make you mine
[Chorus]
You've haunted me all my life
You've haunted me all my life
You are the mistress I can't make a wife
And you've haunted me all my life
[Verse 3]
And so I wait, but I never seem to learn
How to capture your diminishing returns
I still see you through the eyes of a child
Not even thinking we could tame the wild
[Chorus]
You've haunted me all my life
You've haunted me all my life
You are the mistress I can't make a wife
And you've haunted me all my life
[Chorus]
You've haunted me all my life
You've haunted me all my life
You are the mistress I can't make a wife
And you've haunted me all my life
