Books from Boxes 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

[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 all3
