Lyrics
Nightfalls
And towns become circuit boards
We can beat the sun as long as we keep moving
From the air
Stadium lights stand out like flares
All I know is that you're sat here right next to me
We rarely see
Warning signs in the air we breathe
Right now, I feel each and every fragment
This paper trail leads right back to you
You say you need me to step outside
You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes
You passed me up so as not to break a promise
Scattered Polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar
In the long run, you said you knew that this would happen
This is something new
But, it turns out it was borrowed, too
“Why does every letdown have to be so thin?”
Rain explodes
At the moment that the cab door closed
I feel the weight upon your kiss; ambigous
You have to leave. I appreciate that
But I hate when conversation slips out of our grasp
You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes
You passed me up so as not to break a promise
Scattered Polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar
In the long run, you said you knew that this would happen
Two bodies in motion
This is a matter of fact
It wasn't built to last
Two bodies in motion
This is a matter of fact
It wasn't built to last
You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes
You passed me up so as not to break a promise
Scattered Polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar
In the long run, you said you knew that this would happen
The pounding rain continued its bleak fall
And we decided just to write after all (after all)
The pounding rain continued its bleak fall
And we decided just to write after all
