What Sarah Said Lyrics
Artist(Band):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 breaths as I said to myself
That I’ve already taken too much today
As each descending peak on 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
And 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 lift their heads
But I’m thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die
So who’s gonna watch you die? So whos gonna watch you die

Review about What Sarah Said
wow | Reviewer: syd | 6/28/2008wow this song is so amazingly good!
i remember being in the waiting room to
go into surgery and thinking about this
song because i had like all of my family
with me and i mean i wasn't dying but
i was still scared and everything
and this song just popped into my
head. this song, this album is just so
amazing
Oh my god | Reviewer: Deanna | 6/25/2008
I am obessessed w/this song right now. I'm at work right now and it just keeps playing over and over in my mind. Hopefully I won't wear it out... but I have a new love now... it's called Death Cab for Cutie!
The Lovesong of Ben Gibbard | Reviewer: Eric | 4/5/2008
I was reading DCFC's facebook page and it says that this song was inspired by a friend who suddenly burst into tears on a walk with her husband one day because she realized that eventually on of them would have to watch the other day. And that is true love, finding the person who's going to watch you die. Its really a testament to Ben Gibbard's lyrical ability, to turn something seemingly morbid into a beautiful piece of the definition of the ever-uncompleted definition of love.
Greatest song on the album | Reviewer: Randall | 4/5/2008
I have this album love it to death, something to think bout, i read down on some of these, and wanted to point something there are a few songs that everyone in the world can realate to at some point and time, This song captures that moment, Ive been there in a waiting room lookng a vending machine and the video behind this was perfect, to say this is not poetry you cant, anything can be poetry. this song caputres the love and sadness all in one tune.
my mom's relative | Reviewer: joss | 4/4/2008
I remember listening to this song in the car. I had the CD so that my mom and i can listen to. This song came up and my mom started to cry when the lyrics read "Love is wacthing someone die." It was very emotional for my mom because her aunt died from cancer, around that time.
just putting my two cents in | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/18/2008
This song is possibly the most intellectually deep song the entire CD. Interpretations are definitely up for grabs on this one, but personally it reminds of "transatlanticism." Both hint on the fact of losing someone close and they also describe the feelings that surround the loss(moreso in what sarah said.) By the way...brothers on a hotel bed is not about gays...way off. I promise.
love is... | Reviewer: probe1340 | 2/15/2008
Love is seeing someone die like the song says. Its getting to know someone like no one ever will, being there for them until the end. Wonderful but at the same time sad song, ben gibbard has managed once again to write an awesome yet touching song a lot of people can relate to.
Listen to the last note | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/30/2008
It sounds just like the note of a flatline from an ekg machine. I've listened to this song many time without ever really paying attention to the words but it caught me today. Great song.
beautiful, yet simplistic - response to "oh, gawd" #1 | Reviewer: jeremy | 1/29/2008
There is a certain type of poetry called "aesthetic realism" characterized by exactness - which is exactly what mr. gibbard has accomplished in this song. while the lyrics are simple, they describe through an artist's eyes the one thing no one wants to go through.
So, in short, you're a moron, learn your shit and come back again.
oh gawd | Reviewer: Ard | 1/18/2008
oh gawd is for the way it is a beautiful song... alot of people will have good/bad memory's finding their way to their brain when hearing this song.... i'm sure of that :)
