| These boys are from Poughkeepsie, which is near my home town. I love their style and their love-lorn lyrics. This song is so painful but so true, because by falling in love you are setting yourself up to get hurt badly. | |

| i heard this song on the Atticus compilation 2, its a really really good song, kind of remind me of Finch without the big guitar and all in the back. (the bass drum and the screaming in the back) | |

| You know, the lyrics of this song were posted on a friend's journal, and the lyrics are what inspired me to listen to it in the first place, and this band kicks ass. I can't wait to see them preform on Warp Tour this year! | |

| yeah dude, this song is good. i agree that matchbook romance is completely underrated. hopefully being on warped tour will get them some much-deserved attention. um, i think this song is about a relationship with someone where it seems so good, but when you stand back and look at it, its time to get out...thats why its the greatest fall...because on the one hand the relationship has built into something you think you cant live without, but in truth its time to let it go and move on. so in a way the song captures someone convincing himself that the thing is over. that it is better this way. well that wasnt very well put, but having been in that situation myself, it makes sense to me. | |
