The Ghosts Of Beverly Drive - Death Cab For Cutie

If only you d have known me before the accident

I don t know why, I don t know why

I don t know what I expect to find

Where all the news is second hand

And everything just goes on as planned

I don t know why, I don t know why

I don t know why, I don t know why

I don t know why, I don t know why

I don t know why, I don t know wh
