What Sarah Said Lyrics

Performed by Death Cab For Cutie

And it came to me then that every plan
Is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself
That I’ve already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me
Away from me

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
And I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose
Than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained itself

‘Cause there’s no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes ‘round and everyone lift their heads
But I’m thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die

So who’s gonna watch you die? So whos gonna watch you die

This is the second time i have written on this page, my other comment was titled "earth" a few comments down.
I dont know why im writing on this again. but im listening to the song right now. <3

Dont get into fights with your family. they are the only people that will stick by your side for the whole ride, friends will come and go, but family will ALWAYS be there. believe me.
blood is thicker than water.
dont have any regrets, live life, love life. be yourself, not what someone wants you to be. I hope someone reads this comment and i hope it means something to them. <3

Wow. | Reviewer: Justin | 1/28/11

My best friend Sarah just finished telling me how she has suicidal thoughts, and I came across this song.

That line is so relevant; But I’m thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die

Touching the Heart | Reviewer: Lover | 11/29/10

I started listening to this song shortly after my Nani died. I didn't know her very well, we lived halfway across the country my entire life and I only knew her as a name on the usual holiday and birthday cards. My boyfriend shared this song with me because I was going through a really hard time coming to term with not knowing my family, who have always been just barely out of reach. Listening to this song, I realized I should stop worrying about not knowing my family and start learning about them, grow to love them. I also realized that I'd found somebody I could share my life with, somebody who would watch me die while I watch him die. I've done my best to pass this song on, sharing it with friends and singing an A Capella version I adapted to my own voice, because it touched my heart. It saved me in a way. I no longer contemplate killing myself, because the thing I enjoy most is right in front of me: love.
Keep spreading the message and touching hearts.

to whoever is reading this:

we will never meet
i don't know you and never will, but i believe in you
don't let go
don't you ever give up
you are important
there is always a way

someone is out there who understands, don't crawl into a hole because it's hard to face the light. embrace it... and you will forever be grateful for the time you had

I was with a girl called sarah , this reminded me of when i kept checking my phone when i went to hospital after we broke up, i kept waiting for her to come and visit me but she never did , and that left a bitter taste in my mouth . I loved this sarah , but i knew it would end . and i relate to her being the truth id loose then never known at all .

truth | Reviewer: Josiah | 10/7/10

songs like these come around few and far between, divinity manifesting itself in flesh to lead others back from the brink. This song has infinite meanings to all who hear it yet the one universal truth is that its beauty is divine. DCFC is a very real and truthful mouth peice for those of us seeking solace and guidance in times or pain and of joy. Thank you to all who have posted their inspirations on this page. Namaste

i wrote on this page.
it's been just over a year since the day of my sister's funeral that i talked about on the page.
before my sister was sick, i was in a deep depression and had been for years. i tried to kill myself. when we found out she was dying, something changed in me.
i had welcome the thought of sleeping forever, but she was a cold bucket of water that made me realize i already was asleep. i woke up. i pray to whatever god there may be that something inside you has awakened as well.
live your life, and as corny as it sounds, find someone to love; it makes everything worth it.

This is a beautiful and amazing song.
its almost heartbreaking, but at the same time, for some odd reason, very comforting
reading all the above comments really shows how much people this song affects.
amazing...
It makes me feel happy but sad listening to this song.
It makes me remind myself that there is one very secial person out there who would die for me, and another who i love very much who would do anything for me.

I suppose this song is different for everyone. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/29/10

Two years ago (God, has it really been two years?), one of my best friends died. He was driving home at night from a school function and his truck ran off the road and into a tree. He was on life support for a day before they took him off. I never said goodbye.
