Biografia:
The Microphones foram uma banda lo-fi de Olympia, Washington e tinha como líder Phil Elvrum.
Em 2004, Elvrum anunciou que o nome The Microphones seria mudado para Mount Eerie. No entanto, no final de 2006, lançou um single utilizando o nome antigo da banda "Two Songs" dos The Microphones, causando confusão se o nome seria readotado ou não.

[Verse 1]
Bm
I drove up to the city at night
G
And found the place where you grew up
Bm
And then where you stayed
G
And then we walked around and stayed up late
Bm
Under city lights; and I spent the night
G
Next to you in the house where you grew up
Bm
Next to you I miraculously woke up
G
In your parents' house I lied in bed with you
[Chorus]
Bm G
I went back to feel alone there
Bm G
I went back to wipe it clean
Bm G
I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams
[Verse 2]
Bm
And we went all the way up to the small town
G Bm
Where I'm from; with foggy air and the wind and the mountain tops
G
And we clung to rocks and we looked off
Bm
You held my hand, you almost got to start feeling me
G
I finally felt like I was breathing free
Bm G
And under swaying trees we fell asleep and had the same dream
Bm
The stars were bright, we dream the same every night
G
On my island home I spent some time with you
[Chorus]
Bm G
I went back to feel alone there
Bm G
I went back there by myself
Bm G
And gave up on everything that we'd felt
[Verse 3]
D
We found a precious place in the sand
G
Right out in the wind, and we lied under a blanket
D
And heard the furious sound
The roar of waves, the pounding surf
G
Two bodies on the earth
D G
It was intense just getting to be there next to you
D
And you were trying to get me then
G
And I was happy to let you in
[Chorus]
Bm G
I went back and wished I hadn't
Bm G
I went back and felt regret
Bm G
I went to the beach and I stared west
[Verse 4]
Bm
Every night when the sun went down
G
In the town where we live, the empty streets were lit up
Bm
By reflective light from a distant sun
G
Bouncing off a glowing ball of rock
Bm
We just lied on the roof and watched
G
The moon, the moon, the blue light of the moon
Bm G
We didn't talk and silently we both felt powerful
Bm G
Like the moon my chest was full
Bm
Because we both knew we're just floating in the same space
G Bm
Over molten rock, and we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft
G
There's nothing left except certain death
Bm G
And that was comforting at night out under the moon
[Chorus]
Bm G
I went out last night to forget that
Bm G
I went out and stared it down
Bm G
But the moon just stared back at me
Bm G
And in its light I saw my two feet on the ground
[Verse 1]
