Death Cab for Cutie song I think?

I found what I thought was Grapvine Fires by Death Cab for Cutie off their new album Narrow Stairs online but when I listened to it I realized taht it definetly wasn't Grapevine Fires. Ever since then I've been trying to figure out what it was but I can't figure it out. It sounds like them but I'm not sure. Here are the lyrics, or at least I'm pretty sure these are them haha, I'm doing this while listening to the song.

From the birdhouse straight to the kits explode?

Anyone would dare

To believe you have the slightest doubt

As you shot your dice?

And it felt like you were about to call

It felt like you were about to call

Just a short glimpse back to the firehouse

Where you spilt your beer

How I wish you'd like me to stick around

As I pass outside

It felt like you were

And it felt like you were

It felt like you were about to call

It felt like you were about to call

I like the song, I just want to know what it really is! Thankss!

Update:

It can't be grapevine fires. Maybe it's an early version of it. I listened to the real version on imeen and iTunes and it sounds nothingg like the one I have.

Update 2:

The real Grapevine Fires lyrics are here :

When the wind picked up

And the fire spread

And the grapevines seemed left for dead.

And the northern sky, like the end of day,

The end of days.

A wake up call to a rancid room

Sounded like an alarm of impending doom.

To warn us it's only a matter of time.

Before we all burn [4x]

I brought some wine and some papercups

Near your daughter's school when we picked her up

And drove to the cemetary on a hill

On a hill.

And we watched the plumes make the sky gray

And she laughed and dance through the field of grays

There i knew it would be alright

That everything would be alright,

Would be alright

Would be alright

Would be alright.

And the news reports on the radio

Said it was getting worse

Cause the ocean air found the flame.

But i couldn't think there was anywhere i would have rather been

To watch it all burn away.

To burn away.

The firemen worked in double shifts,

With prayers of rain on their lips

    Even though it sounds similar to death cab for cutie, there's a good chance that this is not them. Any search for the lyrics comes up with this yahoo answers page and one lyrics site which incorrectly lists the lyrics as gravevine fires.

    If this was a song by a popular band, such as death cab for cutie, you can bet you would get a whole lot more search results when googling some of the lyrics.

    I'm still trying to find out who made this song, as I happen to like it quite a bit too. I'll let you know if I find anything.
