about

This was the final song written for the record and the one musically I'm most proud of. I wrote it after moving to a new city for a few months and the experience of being caught between your old town and the new one.

lyrics

I always knew we’d fall together
But I never thought we’d hit this hard
Hoping this city will forget your name only to realize it never gave a shit in the first place
You can fill its fountains with your petty change

This is when you realize that you’ve got one of those faces
That will let them all just pass you by
This is when you realize that you’re not mapping new terrain
You’re simply charting the old landmarks

And I laughed when he said all he’s learned has been forgotten but now I can’t remember why
And they’ll cry because the only moments they remember were the first to slip my mind
And they’ll cry because they still can’t see the difference between getting on and getting by

You’re always staring to the sky because you can’t bear to screen those eyes from a past you wished was never left behind
It can never conquer only impose, you lose these battles on your own within these crooked walls you chose to face alone

I lost that touch
You lost those eyes
Tonight
When it felt so right leaving you behind
