Maximo Park - Books From Boxes

 ★ 



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

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

Said you knew that this would happen



Well this is something new

but it turns out it was borrowed too

Why does every let down 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



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

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

Said you knew that this would happen



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
