Biografia:
O The Postal Service teve início em 2001, quando Ben Gibbard (vocalista do Death Cab For Cutie) e Jimmy Tamborello (do Dntel) decidiram formar um projeto paralelo juntos. Como Gibbard morava em Seattle e Tamborello em Los Angeles, a parceria era feita à distância. Tamborello compunha e gravava as batidas eletrônicas. Gibbard recebia os CD's pelo correio e escrevia as melodias, enviando as novas gravações de volta para Tamborello. Quando chegavam a um consenso, Ben escrevia as letras das músicas.

[Verse]
D G D
I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water,
G D
And pictures of you and i'm not coming out
G D G
Until this is all over
D G D
And i'm looking through the glass where the light bends
G
At the cracks
D G D
And i'm screaming at the top of my lungs pretending
G Em
The echoes belong to someone
Em D
Someone i used to know
Em D
And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
D G D G
Ba ba ba...
[Chorus]
D G
I wanted to walk through the empty streets
D G
And feel something constant under my feet,
D G
But all the news reports recommended that
D G
I stay indoors
D G
Because the air outside will make our cells
D G D
Divide at an alarming rate until our shells
G D G
Simply cannot hold all our insides in,
Em
And that's when we'll explode
D
(and it won't be a pretty sight)
[Bridge]
Em D
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go

And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
