Bend to Squares Lyrics by Death Cab for Cutie

Something About Airplanes

1998

[Verse 1]
Gravitated towards a taste
For foreign films and modern plays
But that machine could only bend to squares five to six times
Before your fingers came unwired
[Chorus]
Weights down so that you could move forwards, forwards
So you could move forwards, forwards
[Verse 2]
Pinch to snub that restless nerve
And knock the wind from one last urge
With two fingers in a rock glass
Time passed and that was that
Quite a slip, a loosened grasp
[Chorus]
Weights down so that you could move forwards, forwards
So you could move forwards, forwards
[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh, what a way to cut lengthwise
Ooh-ooh, what a way to cut lengthwise
Ooh-ooh, what a way to cut lengthwise
Ooh-ooh, what a way to cut lengthwise
