Whats the name of the artist that sing the song with these lyrics?

"The glove compartment isn't accurately named,

and every body knows it,

so I'm pruposeing a swift orderly change

because behind its doors theres nothing to keep my fingers warm

and all I find are souvenirs from better times"

I think the same artist has a song with the lyrics

" She appears composed so she is I suppose"

I found these songs on a mixed tape and love them , anyone able to tell me sings them

    Title And Registration Lyrics

    by Death Cab For Cutie

    The glove compartment isn't accurately named

    And everybody knows it.

    So i'm proposing a swift orderly change.

    Cause behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm

    And all i find are souvenirs from better times

    Before the gleam of your taillights fading east

    To find yourself a better life.

    I was searching for some legal document

    As the rain beat down on the hood

    When i stumbled upon pictures i tried to forget

    And that's how this idea was drilled into my head

    Cause it's too important

    To stay the way it's been

    There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade

    And now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all

    And here i rest where disappointment and regret collide

    Lying awake at night

    There's no blame for how our love did slowly fade

    And now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all

    And here i rest where disappointment and regret collide

    Lying awake at night (up all night)

    When i'm lying awake at night.

    This song was written for his mother. I wish I could write songs like this. What an amazing artist.

    Elliott Smith - Waltz #2

    first the mic, then a half cigarette

    singing cathy's clown

    that's the man that she's married to now

    that's the girl that he takes around town

    she appears composed, so she is, i suppose

    who can really tell?

    she shows no emotion at all

    stares into space like a dead china doll

    i'm never gonna know you now,

    but i'm gonna love you anyhow

    now she's done and they're calling someone

    such a familiar name

    i'm so glad that my memory's remote

    'cause i'm doing just fine hour to hour, note to note

    here it is, the revenge to the tune,

    "you're no good, you're no good, you're no good, you're no good"

    can't you tell that it's well understood?

    i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow

    i'm here today and expected to stay on and on and on

    i'm tired, i'm tired.

    looking out on the substitute scene

    still going strong

    XO, mom

    it's ok, it's alright, nothing's wrong

    tell mr. man with impossible plans to just leave me alone

    in the place where i make no mistakes

    in the place where i have what it takes

    i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow
