about

Matt Devine: vocals, guitar

lyrics

I’m a traveler in your town
Motionless without a sound
Building castles on your beach
Dislocated within your reach

Unpack my only suitcase
I can get attached to you

(Take it away) Anyone can leave there
(Take it away) Anyone can see it now
(Take it away) If anyone can die here
(Take it away) It’s gonna be downtown

City streets don't wear down
As my feet fall to the ground
But all the gardeners hesitate
They grow their gardens and lock the gates

So tear up my tattered roadmap
I can get attached to you

(Take it away) Anyone can leave there
(Take it away) Anyone can see it now
(Take it away) If anyone can die here
(Take it away) It’s gonna be downtown

Lay out my lonely bedroll
I can get attached to you

(Take it away) Anyone can leave there
(Take it away) Anyone can see it now
(Take it away) If anyone can die here
(Take it away) It’s gonna be downtown
