Biography

Post-hardcore/alternative rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York, USA formed in 1997. The band started out as a punk band called "Fizzlewink" (1997 - 2001) but after internal changes that were made in the band; namely, hiring Ryan "Judas" DePaolo and Aaron Stern as new members as well as shifting their sound and writing new songs, the band changed their name to "The Getaway" (2001 - 2002), and then completely abandoned what they wrote as "Fizzlewink". They were sued by Canada's "[a=The Getaway]" after they were signed by [a=Brett Gurewitz] from Epitaph Records, which forced yet another band name change, this time they picked "Matchbook Romance" which was a name suggested by Aaron. Matchbook Romance then debuted with their EP "West For Wishing" on April 8th, 2003 and then released "Stories and Alibis" on September 23rd of that same year. They went on hiatus in 2007 after extensive touring that was done to promote their sophomore album "Voices" released on February 14th, 2006, then briefly returned for a reunion tour in March of 2009, two shows in December of 2012, a serie of shows for 2015's Warped Tour and finally three shows in celebration of "Voices" 10th anniversary.

LYRICS

Let's start out by starting over.
What did I expect?
You're no good at lying and I'm no good at comebacks.
But you're so untouchable.
I'm oh-so-terrible at this.
I'm terrible at this, you know.

Don't hold this against me.
I've already said I'm sorry.

And I bet you've got every word I said
memorized in your head.
And you'll use every one of them,
and you'll use every one of them against me.

Don't hold this against me.
I've already said I'm sorry.
(Tell all your friends about me)
Don't hold this against me.
I've already said I'm sorry.

I hope you choke on every word you spoke when you were screaming at me.
And realize how many times I've tried, but that's wishful thinking.
All I want is an apology for what you did and how you treated me.
Get me far away, or at least as far as this car will take me.

I hope you choke on every word you spoke when you were screaming at me.
(Get me far away, or at least as far as this car will take me)
(Tell all your friends about me)

And realize how many times I've tried, but that's wishful thinking.
(Get me far away, or at least as far as this car will take me)
(Tell all your friends about me)

All I want is an apology for what you did and how you treated me.
(Get me far away, or at least as far as this car will take me)
(Tell all your friends about me)

I hope you choke on every word you spoke, I hope you choke on every word you spoke
(Get me far away, get me far away...)
(Tell all your friends...)

Don't hold this against me.
I've already said I'm sorry.
(Tell all your friends about me)
Don't (Tell all your friends about me)
hold this against me (Tell all your friends about me)
I've already said I'm sorry (Tell all your friends about me)
