Favorite lyrics: “His head was a city of paper buildings/ and the echoes that remained of old friends and lovers/ their features bleeding together in his brain”

“If I could open my arms and span the length of the aisle of Manhattan/ I’d bring it to where you are/ making a lake of the East River and Hudson”

“Upstate New York full of brightly colored leaves/ oh the hills were on fire they burned for you and me”

” On the back of a motorbike/ With your arms outstretched trying to take flight, leaving everything behind/ But even at our swiftest speed, we couldn’t break from the concrete/ In the city where we still reside” 

“And I have learned/ That even landlocked lovers yearn/ For the sea like Navymen”

“Soon everyone will ask what became of you/ Because your heart was dying fast and you didn’t know what to do”

Seen them live?: I will as soon as possible. I missed out, they played in Bend around May 27th, but I still had school so I couldn’t go. I was honestly considering skipping and having a mini road trip with my friends across the state in finals week.
