They're building new buildings
They're gonna block our view
And I do suppose it's payback in turn
For those we did the same thing too
Along bypasses and ring roads
I've been rerouting for years
When the feeling gets old and the question takes hold
Am I siding with love or with fear
So put on your good shoes and silence your phone now
Brave the trains and meet me across town
We'll go out spinning stories
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down
At night the highways are humming
A little dimmer than they did back then
And oh the shadows they cast like pleas from lovers past
We're never meant to hear from again
But there's a buzzing in the back of my brain now
Like this conversation's happened before
And ain't it a shame to admit
Your favorite version of something you miss
Might not exist anymore
So put on your good shoes and silence your phone now
Brave the trains and meet me across town
We'll go out spinning stories
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down
We'll go out spinning stories
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down
And did you take a couple pictures
So you could prove that you were there
Or did you stick to that tired old narrative
That nothing ever happens here
So put on your good shoes and silence your phone now
Brave the trains and meet me across town
We'll go out spinning stories
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down
We'll go out spinning stories
Trying to pull the stars down
Trying to pull the stars down

I know... late to the party.... but I read somewhere that this is a mixture of replacements and early GGD and thought I'd check it out.... really like it. Mully
