How I wish you could see the potential
The potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound, but
In a language that you can't read just yet
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
There are days when outside your window
I see my reflection as I slowly pass
And I long for this mirrored perspective
When we'll be lovers, lovers at last
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
I will possess your heart
You reject my advances and desperate pleas
I won't let you let me down so easily
So easily
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love

And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart
You gotta spend some time, love
You gotta spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart

The intro could be a little longer...
Tedious.

Well, Death Cab for Cutie usually makes me feel uncomfortable, so I guess mission accomplished!

This builds so well... subtle instrumentation adds... can't not like it. :-)
i swear this song is on every day.
Great bass warm up exercise to play along with. Kind of puts you in a trance if you can get through it without your hand cramping.
Sure thing, love.
Give me a call when the Asylum turns you loose.

I see people complaining about the creepiness of the song. but is that not the point of the song? Other bands have done songs from this obsessive perspective (like the Police's "I will be watching you") because it's interesting, and very sadly is a thing that happens in real life.
Personally I think the song is effective ion how it feels kinda hectic and persistent, and, ultimately, scary.
So yeah, that's my take. I may be mistaking people's observations of the creepiness with complaint, and if that's the case i apologise.
All the best,
Be nice to people.

Not sure why there's an assumption that this hilarious post must also, therefore, be dissing the band; it can be read that way but it doesn't need to be.
(Now, for those saying the song is kinda creepy or vaguely stalker-ish... My dudes, it is absolutely those things! But I like it -- and the fact that something semi-recent successfully [IMO] hits the song-lengths that were common on the deep tracks back in the 70s. Traffic, Steppenwolf, etc., etc.)
Record producer guy: Ok guys, we have, like ten minutes to fill on the new album, any ideas?
Singer guy: I have about twelve syllables that I am like, totally in love with, I could just sing them over and over for ten minutes.
Bass player guy: I have this little bass line that is exactly twelve beats long. I can easily play it for 10 minutes.
Singer guy: Excellent, let's wrap this thing up so I can go home and bang my super hot actress wife, Gwyneth.
Bass player guy: Er, dude, that's not your wife, that's the Coldplay guy.
Singer guy: Are you sure?
Bass player guy: Yep.
Singer guy: I am always getting us confused.
Bass Player: Everyone does.
Singer guy: Do you think I could fool Gwyneth?
Bass player guy: Prolly not. Maybe if you sing to her in the dark.
Singer guy: Somebody get my agent on the phone.

It's as if he's reciting these lyrics to a woman who is bound and gagged in his basement. Really creepy stuff here. Really creepy.

So I discovered a cover of this song recorded by a doom metal band.
I don't know why anyone would think I'm making this up, but just in case:
the band is called Chained To The Bottom Of The Ocean

This song......just brilliant. Amazing music, very clever lyrics, and that bass hook!
Bill, great segue from "The Long Road" (Dead Man Walking soundtrack) to this.
HORRIBLE! I'm so disappointed! Off key and out of time, and sounds like someone who's in a lot of pain.

Yup - I think your copyright 'guess' would be correct
Years ago I made a video of an edit of the final showdown of the characters in Steven Speilberg's early film Duel with Dennis Weaver on a lonely mountain road being pursued by a crazy semi truck driver. I used this song as the soundtrack. It was amazing how well it worked, with the plodding bass line for the climb up the mountain, which stops when the singing starts and the car began careening down the mountain. I put it up on YouTube, but they took it down. I guess it violated the band or the movie copyright. It was fun while it lasted.

Maybe she's just not that into you...
it's insistent, plodding, driven, driving... obsessed,,, like the singer of the song. As a bass player I can say I love playing on tunes like this that require you to LOCK in and just groove with the drummer.
I wondered about the name but never was curious enough to nail down where it came from. Thanks, although not much of a fan, I like to know about bands, renown and obscure.

I've heard/owned a fair amount of the Bonzo's music over the years but obviously missed THAT one!
Please make it stop already !!
6 minute intro... 2:22 singing....NICE!
what is the latest obsession with these guys?
Desperate cardiac surgeon.
I really love this kind of progressive rock. Drums and guitar reminds me Steve Shelley and Thurston Moore after their punk experimental period. I've heard they played with Death Cab for Cuties... Is that true ? (really possible from all experimental fields of Sonic Youth)
It's all about the bass ...repetitive though it may be.
Great tune. One of DCFC best.

You'd be relatively pleased if you came up with this in an improvised jam. Not blown away. It'd need quite a bit of work before you bothered recording it.
I saw them at the Hollywood Bowl and this song under the stars was magical. If you aren't a DCFC fan I guess I understand why you don't like it but for us fans, they possess our hearts. Just move on.

I just caught them a couple weeks ago and they stretched this out into an even longer jam, which I absolutely loved.

Sucker for that bass line...
Until you've seen these guys live, you will never truly know music genius. This band just never fails to amaze.
love this band, and they're family now
My boy and I saw this live a few weeks back and it was tremendous. Shame the venue couldn't cope with the bass output cos the whole structure was buzzing. I bet they needed a few replacement light bulbs.
I'm french, and I love this webite and particulary this music, I'm so happy with this beautiful day, the sunshine is really great for my skin !!
Saw them live earlier this month, they put on a great show, and great to see them.

Sweet transition Bill. BGs to the Death Cab. Again only hear on RP. No typo.

I'd follow this with the Monkees' "Me and Magdalena," which is also by Gibbard.

Great song, hypnotic groove, then the singing starts. Drags it from a 9 to a 5.

Interesting. All the criticism of this song taken, it is still a 100% better song than any song on modern commercial radio that torments me despairs me, when I am trapped in my car.

Record producer guy: Ok guys, we have, like ten minutes to fill on the new album, any ideas?
Singer guy: I have about twelve syllables that I am like, totally in love with, I could just sing them over and over for ten minutes.
Bass player guy: I have this little bass line that is exactly twelve beats long. I can easily play it for 10 minutes.
Singer guy: Excellent, let's wrap this thing up so I can go home and bang my super hot actress wife, Gwyneth.
Bass player guy: Er, dude, that's not your wife, that's the Coldplay guy.
Singer guy: Are you sure?
Bass player guy: Yep.
Singer guy: I am always getting us confused.
Bass Player: Everyone does.
Singer guy: Do you think I could fool Gwyneth?
Bass player guy: Prolly not. Maybe if you sing to her in the dark.
Singer guy: Somebody get my agent on the phone.

In my head I sometimes hear this song with Kermit the Frog singing the vocals.
I'd really like to hear that in the real world, even if it wouldn't change it all that much.

Creepy song. Gets inside the mind of the stalker you can't seem to get rid ot. Nothing romantic here.

This comes off way better live. In fact it's fucking awesome. Watch this youtube set they performed at Bonaroo music festival. This song is at around the 23:50 mark, and it's really set up by what comes previously in the set so if you really want to get the feel of it you've got to watch at least the song leading up to it. But I agree...this is lame in comparison...believe me, like night and day.

This gets boring real quick. The same bass loop all the way through. Meh.
