Bixby Canyon Bridge Lyrics by Death Cab for Cutie

Narrow Stairs

2008

[Verse 1]
I descended a dusty gravel ridge
Beneath the Bixby Canyon Bridge
Until I eventually arrived
At the place where your soul had died
And barefoot in the shallow creek
I grabbed some stones from underneath
And waited for you to speak to me
[Verse 2]
In the silence, it became so very clear
That you had long ago disappeared
I cursed myself for being surprised
That this didn't play like it did in my mind
All the way from San Francisco
As I chased the end of your road
'Cause I've still got miles to go
[Verse 3]
And I want to know my fate
If I keep up this way
And it's hard to want to stay
Awake
When everyone you meet
They all seem to be asleep
And you wonder if you're missing your dream
[Bridge]
You can't see a dream
You can't see a dream
You just can't see a dream
[Refrain]
A dream
A dream
A dream
A dream
A dream
A dream
A dream
A dream
A dream
A dream
A dream
A dream
[Outro]
And then, it started getting dark
I trudged back to where the car was parked
No closer to any kind of truth
As I must assume was the case with you
