Line of Best Fit Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ben Gibbard & Abi Hall]
These things take my time and energy
Don't stand too close without apologies
Cutthroat, cut out candid glimpses and
Wind me up, I'm ready

[Hook: Ben Gibbard & Abi Hall]
Can't escape this line of best fit
Can't escape this line of best fit


[Verse 2: Ben Gibbard & Abi Hall]
These things take my time and energy
Don't stand too close without apologies
I remember being inside something more than you

[Hook: Ben Gibbard & Abi Hall]
Can't escape this line of best fit
Can't escape this line of best fit

Can't escape this line of best fit
Can't escape this line of best fit


[Verse 3: Abi Hall]
I remember being inside something more than you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Track #8 from Death Cab For Cutie’s debut demo album You Can Play These Songs with Chords, “Line of Best Fit” also appears as the 10th track on their follow-up album, Something About Airplanes.

A ‘line of best fit’, also known as a trend line, is used in mathematics, specifically in data representation and usually applied to a scatter plot. It is an approximation that uses a mathematical line (180 degrees/straight) to represent the general trend of data represented by points on a scatter plot.
