Title & Registration

September 25, 2016

“Title & Registration,” written by Ben Gibbard and Chris Walla and recorded by them with their band Death Cab for Cutie in 2004.

“The glove compartment is inaccurately named
And everybody knows it
So I’m proposing a swift orderly change
‘Cause behind its door there’s nothing to keep my fingers warm
And all I find are souvenirs from better times
Before the gleam of your taillights fading east
To find yourself a better life”
