What Sarah Said

What Sarah Said
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 breathes as I said to myself that I'd already taken too much today
As each descending peak of 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
But 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 will lift their heads
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said that "Love is watching someone die"

So who's going to watch you die?..

Why I like this song:
For me this song can seem depressing and sad for the situation that this person is in, but I love this song because it really can connect with you. Sitting in a hospital wing and waiting for results from a surgery, someone that was brought into the ER and have no idea what is happening. You notice the strange surroundings that you are in and you have no idea what is the ultimate decision as to what the verdict is.

Whoever Sarah is she truly saying something rather deep. If you truly care about someone, have sacrificed so much for them. Given them your time, emotions, care, and any other part of your worth. Now that one that you love so much could be dying. True love is sitting next to them until the end. That isnt easy. I myself honestly have never been there when someone has died, but have thought a lot of how I would take that and if I would be able to handle it. So who's going to watch you die? Who have you influenced in your life that you think would be there with you to the end? Did you sacrifice and give so much to someone that they love you that much in return? I hope to have to at least someone. No I don't have a wife yet, and no I dont have a girlfriend, but of the people that are close to me I hope that they have seen the sacrifice that I have done for them. The love I have for them, because there are a lot of them that I honestly would be there with them until the end. No matter what.

Feel free to comment on this song and see if there is anything else that reaches you in this song? anything you dont like? why dont you like it? why do you love it? Let me know. I'd love to read what you think!
