Books From Boxes Lyrics - Maximo Park

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
