Information Travels Faster Songtext
von Death Cab for Cutie

I wish that I could sneak attach
A tether from here to there
And extend it from my wrist to span
The Atlantic and pull you near

Reckless pounces and clouded accounts
Of parties that lost control
And harmless flirting in the afternoons of London
Doting Western end boys with western compliments again

Confessions on your calling card
It must have been hard for you
For you, for you
To seem crushed as you cradled the phone in Rome


You′ll find better things on bigger continents abroad
Sun-tanned skin with bleached blond hair and talents unbeknownest
To you

Information travels faster
In the modern age, in the modern age
Western days are crawling by so slowly

Information travels faster
In the modern age, in the modern age
Western days are crawling by so slowly

Information travels faster
In the modern age, in the modern age
Western days are crawling by so slowly

Information travels faster
In the modern age, in the modern age
Western days are crawling by so slowly
