Lyrics of You Are A Tourist by Death Cab for Cutie

intro

This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher

verse

When there's a burning in your heart
An endless yearning in your heart
Build it bigger than the sun, let it grow, let it grow
When there's a burning in your heart, don't be alarmed

hook

(This fire grows higher) when there's a doubt within your mind
'Cause you're thinking all the time
Framing rights in the wrongs, move along
Move along when there's a doubt within your mind

verse

When there's a burning in your heart
And you think it'll burst apart
Or there's nothing to feel, save the tears
Save the tears when there's a burning in your heart

bridge

And if you feel just like a tourist
In the city you were born, then it's time to go
And define your destination
There's so many different places to call home

bridge

'Cause when you find yourself the villain
In the story you have written, it's plain to see
That sometimes, the best intentions are in need of redemptions
Would you agree? If so, please, show me

hook

This fire grows higher
This fire grows higher

outro

When there's a burning in your heart
When there's a burning in your heart

outro

(This fire grows higher) when there's a burning in your heart
(This fire grows higher)
(This fire grows higher) when there's a burning in your heart
(This fire grows higher)
(This fire grows higher) when there's a burning in your heart
Writer(s): Benjamin Gibbard
