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

leave a message on your phone
just to find out you're not home
keeping up with you is something i could never do
and i know something's wrong
cause you've been gone too long
a fucking waste of my time is all that you've become

if i can't be the guy that you've always wanted me to be
if i can't say the words that you always wanted me to say
if i fall in the end, will you be holding on to me?
because you, you said you'd never leave me

the choice is up to you
to find out what to do
to let it go or keep kicking me to the side
i'm getting tired of your shit
and i can't deal with it
i gave up giving in, and now it's time to say goodbye

if i can't be the guy that you've always wanted me to be
if i can't say the words that you always wanted me to say
if i fall in the end, will you be holding on to me?
because you, you said you'd never leave me

with me, stay with me...

if i can't be the guy that you've always wanted me to be
if i can't say the words that you always wanted me to say
if i fall in the end, will you be holding on to me?
because you, you said you'd never leave
you, you said you'd never leave
you, you said you'd never leave me
