About

“Poems” was written during the band’s second batch of writing, with Jake Luppen saying in an interview that:

​poems Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jake]
Mary packed her bags and left home on a Christmas Eve
For sea soaked skies and dashing lads with cars
An actress orphaned by the social constructs of her art school
A victim of their esoteric rule
So pretentious that she almost thought it cool
But all you'd hear is

[Chorus: All]
La, la la la la
La la la la la, la la
La, la la la la
La la la la la, la la

[Verse 2: Jake]
Purpose was a vague ideal that she would always talk on
Till she fell in love with the salesman from TV
Yeah, she fell in love with a salesman from TV
While all of Hollywood sang

[Chorus: All]
La, la la la la
La la la la la, la la
La, la la la la
La la la la la, la la

[Interlude: Jake]

[Bridge: Jake, Jake & Nathan]
Pearly, pretty prize, and a ribbon box of sighs
In a collared shirt
She thought it wouldn't hurt
Certain love of mine with the palest blue eyes
In her collared shirt
I thought it couldn't hurt
Wood flavored kiss taste the concrete of this
It really fucked with me, it really fucked with me
California eyes are a death wise from design
You really fucked with me

[Outro: Jake, All]
La, la la la la
La la la la la, la la
La, la la la la
La la la la la, la la
La, la la la la
La la la la la, la la
La, la la la la
La la la la la, la la

What did Hippo Campus say about "​poems"?

I think “Poems” is probably my favorite right now to play… for the fact we’ve never really done anything like that, there’s all these ambient breaks and I think it really catches people off guard."

- Jake Luppen

Not officially but there is a fan-made piano cover that doesn’t have any vocals:
