    When I discovered this band a few years ago, I thought I might have overlooked it in the 80’s when obsessed with INXS, REM and the like. Mixes great with fine pop rock of that era and draws heavily from that influence. Never tire of it, great energy and lyrics.

    [Verse 1]
    Night falls
    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
    And 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
    [Chorus]
    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
    [Verse 2]
    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; ambiguous
    You have to leave. I appreciate that
    But I hate when conversation slips out of our grasp
    [Chorus]
    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
    [Bridge](x2)
    Two bodies in motion
    This is a matter of fact
    It wasn't built to last
    [Chorus]
    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
    [Outro]
    The pounding rain continued it's bleak fall
    And we decided just to write after all
    After all
    The pounding rain continued it's bleak fall
    And we decided just to write after all
