    Even if they only wrote this one song, Death Cab would have been the bestest band in the whole world.

    Nice Beach Boys type-feel to this song, whether that was intended or not. Awesome track.

    it's not a love song. He's saying that after he/she left him he's still in love. he can't do any better but understands that they can do better than him. he's pining.

    It's like my heart can't be tamed and I fall in love every day and I feel like a fool <3
