"A Movie Script Ending" is Death Cab for Cutie's first single release and also the first single from The Photo Album. It is a melancholy song written about the imperfection of love and its contrast to a dull background with a chorus consisting simply of the word "highway". The song begins with references to "the air on Railroad" and "the shopfronts on Holly," Railroad and Holly being two intersecting streets in downtown Bellingham, Washington, Death Cab for Cutie's hometown.
