about

Static Reactions is the latest full-length release from Boston's Cold Expectations and represents their new direction in sound and songwriting.

lyrics

It’s time to sweep up the confetti
Now the crowds have gone away
Gather all your lonely anger
Wave goodbye to yesterday
It’s a souvenir
Souvenir
Of a time when you and I were so near
Souvenir
Can I live inside your hours?
Pencil sketch you in my mind
Put your arm in my dusty jacket
Reaching in for what’s inside
It’s a souvenir
Souvenir
Of a time when you and I were so near
Souvenir
The broken umbrella the way it rained
Faded to black from a late-night train
Static reactions of space and of time
Re-play, rewatch and rewind in my mind
Souvenir
The newspaper romance, the teenager crush
The noise of the city, it roars to a hush
The paperback promise, it’s ending unkind
All that we covered in gold never shines
Souvenir
It’s time to sweep up the confetti
Now the crowds have gone away
Gather all your lonely anger
Wave goodbye to yesterday
