Chris recorded his first album, The Swiss Army Romance, in 2000. The following year, he recorded Further Seems Forever's debut album The Moon Is Down. However, he left the band soon after the album's release, instead recording and releasing his sophomore album The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most, as well as a follow-up EP titled So Impossible.

Verse 1: C# We went rolling up the coast til C#/FF# there was no more coast to wander C# We tried every different road C#/FF# just to see which took us further C# We were living on the run but C#/FF# there was no one chasing after C# We were looking out for love and C#/FF# we were flirting with disaster G# While the world fades out
Chorus 1: C# We stayed in the sun too long F# Suffered a terrible burn G#F# Now everybody learns from disaster C# We stayed on the run too long F# Hoping we'd never return G#F# Now everybody learns from disaster G# We watched the sun burn C#(piano) down into cinders
Interlude: C#--C#/F-F#- x2
Verse 2: C# We turned out into the planes C#/FF# we turned in when we got tired C# We slept two across the bench C#/FF# and we fit three under the covers C# We had just enough cash left to C#/FF# top the tent and fill the cooler C# And we lit the van with dreams C#/FF# until the sun turned into cinders G# And the world fades out
(Repeat Chorus 1)
