I found a letter in the mailbox today
And I said, "thank you for your thoughts, but I'm done."
I said that I would never build this up right here
And he said, "that's why I can't work with you son."

But I can't let this go I'm on my way
You can only hold my diamond ring
But I'll go crawling back to the city I love
Cause it's already taken everything

I'm going to Coney Island have myself a dog
And reminisce why I still hate it here
It's all these people with their cotton candy eyes
It's so sweet, now put the train in gear

But I can't let this go I'm on my way
You can only hold my diamond ring
But I'll go crawling back to the city I love
Cause it's already taken everything

The ground is swallowing my options full release
And if it rains they might just disappear
I counted 27 birds up there today
I'm thinking that's why I still love it here
I'm thinking that's why I still love it here

But I can't let this go I'm on my way
You can only hold my diamond ring
But I'll go crawling back to the city I love
Cause it's already taken everything
Cause it's already taken everything

Saw these guys 2 weeks ago in Boise.  They were the opening act for Guster and were quite enjoyable.
pop-ish, but still deserves some investigation.  i'm liking it.
Well I was riding into work today and my 17 year old daughter's CD was in the player.  This song was on it and I thought "pretty cool."  Get to work, boot up the computer and put on Radio Paradise and what do I hear...this song.  Must be fate.  I put it on the learn to play list and found the correct tab via google.  Now all I need is some talent.  I'll report back in a few years.
Poppy and melodic...what's not to like? Nice tune...

Love it! Don't have anything more useful to say about it...

I saw these guys live a couple of weeks ago and they were really fine, with great vocal harmonies. Also they are very talented musicians.
I bought this CD and felt it lost a little energy after hearing them live, but it is still quite an enjoyable listen and worth exploring more of the CD.
Just... Average... Not bad though:/
It's tempting to draw obvious comparisons to another indie folk band that starts with "Avett" and ends with "Brothers."  But I'd prefer to not compare and just enjoy this great song! 
Fantastic melody and beat, and I love the backing vocal harmony "oohs" after the solo.  Makes me want to pick up my guitar and sing!

been a while since this has been played...Bill dusting off the cobwebs...

{correctted} me thinks its the first time around...I forget that sometimes.

I like the band's name. Holding out on the song.
