Lyrics Pity and Fear - Death Cab for Cutie
I
have
such
envy
For
the
stranger
lying
next
to
me
Who
awakes
in
the
night
And
slips
out
into
the
pre-dawn
light
With
no
words,
a
clean
escape
No
promises
or
messes
made
And
chalks
it
all
up
To
mistake,
mistake,
mistake
And
there
are
no
tears
Just
pity
and
fear
And
a
vast
ravine
Right
in
between
A
storm
at
sea
The
bow
cracked
and
I
was
capsizing
And
I
sunk
below
Where
I
swore
I
would
never
go
If
you
can't
stand
in
place
You
can't
tell
who's
walking
away
From
who
remains
Who
stays,
who
stays,
who
stays
And
there
are
no
tears
Just
pity
and
fear
And
a
vast
ravine
Right
in
between
'Cause
there
are
no
tears
Just
pity
and
fear
And
I
recall
The
push
more
than
the
fall
The
push
more
than
the
fall
