...married, by far the most annoying and the most frequent couple to populate this campus. Like you, couple that never leaves the Eliot d-hall—the laptops in front of you do not hide your really awkward PDA. I get it, marrieds.

The words sometimes don’t fit quite right, occasionally splitting sentences across lines. Caws sounds as if he took a casual conversation with a bunch of guys and stuffed it into a musical format. But Nada Surf’s music tends to concentrate on melody more than poetry...
