Death Cab For Cutie – Jealousy Rides With Me lyrics

Jealousy rides with me.
Such a faithful companion no one could be.
And he sits on my shoulder,
And whispers the things that make me so bitter it's sick.
Jealousy rides with me.
In wake or in slumber,
I can't get relief,
From the pictures he paints of the passion and heat.
And though I try I can't stop listening.

And I've tried bribery, but to no effect,
'Cause there's no amount of money that would get him to split.
As long as I'm living and we're not together,
I'll be chained to this beast with no chance of severance 'cause,

Jealousy rides with me.
Such a faithful companion no one could be,
For a journey that leads to the outskirts of time.
But don't worry about me, I'll be fine.
It beats being lonely.
I'll be fine.
