Books From Boxes

[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

[Pre-Chorus]

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]

Well, 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

[Pre-Chorus]

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]

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

[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 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
