Death Cab For Cutie - Cath... lyrics

Cath, she stands with a well-intentions man

But she can't relax with his hands on the small of her back

And as the flash goes first

She holds a smile like someone would hold a crying child

And soon everybody will ask what became of you

And your heart was dying fast, and you didn't know what to do

Cath, it seems that you live in someone else's dream

In a hand-me-down wedding dress

Where the things that could have been are oppressed

But you said your vows, and you closed the door

On so many men who would have loved you more

And soon everybody will ask what became of you

And your heart was dying fast, and you didn't know what to do

The whispers that it won't last roll up and down the pews

But if their hearts were dying that fast,

They'd have done the same as you

And i'd have done the same as you
