The band performed in the local college scene traveling up and down the coast looking for gigs to play. After the band recorded some demos with Jerry Harrison, a former member of the Talking Heads and Modern Lovers, 2AM Club played a now-legendary four month residency they called "Tiny Porno" at the Derby in Los Angeles, and word quickly spread that it was the place to be. They played the school's band during the Pretty Little Liars episode "There's No Place Like Homecoming", performing "Worry About You" and "Make You Mine" among others.
Evidence
2AM Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you left on my mattress
I'm getting rid of all your make up
And these fake eyelashes
And all the pictures that I hung up
You can take em if you want
I know you like clearance sales
Well this gonna be the biggest one
Don't try and plead your case now
Please just find your way out
Cause someones on her way now
Out of sight, out of mind
I'm finally leaving you behind
I'm doing the one thing that makes sense
And getting rid of all the evidence
A million ways to say goodbye
Of all the things that i could try
I'm doing the one thing that makes sense
And getting rid of all the evidence
I cleaned the bathroom with your toothbrush
The one you won't be making use of
I even took the time to wipe down
Every single thing that you touched
But, these sexy pictures in my cell phone
I'm gonna go ahead and keep those
In case you try and put me on
Those are gonna get me off
Tell your girl come pick up this box that
I just went through
Every time I see your clothes I
Think of how they fit you
So I put them in with
Everything that's gonna remind me
The one I thought would never front
I gotta put behind me
I thumb through all the pictures we once had
Thought you were the one now you're
Just one that I untagged
Ever since we're not together
Everything is hella clear
I'm getting rid of all the evidence
That you were ever here

Girl i'm cleaning up these loose ends
I am tidying up and organizing all the unfinished matters
That you left on my mattress
Referring to the emotional residue you left behind
I'm getting rid of all your make up
Removing all the superficial aspects of our relationship
And these fake eyelashes
Symbolizing the false image and pretenses we had
And all the pictures that I hung up
Taking down all the memories we shared
You can take em if you want
You have the option to keep these remnants if desired
I know you like clearance sales
Acknowledging your preference for discounted items
Well this gonna be the biggest one
This will be the most extensive clearance of all
Don't try and plead your case now
Do not attempt to defend yourself or make excuses
Please just find your way out
Simply leave and remove yourself from my life
Cause someones on her way now
Indicating that another person is coming to take your place
Out of sight, out of mind
Once you are no longer present, you will no longer occupy my thoughts
I'm finally leaving you behind
I am moving on from our relationship
I'm doing the one thing that makes sense
Taking the only logical action in this situation
And getting rid of all the evidence
Eliminating all traces and reminders of our past together
A million ways to say goodbye
There are countless methods to bid farewell
Of all the things that i could try
Considering all the possibilities I have
I'm doing the one thing that makes sense
Opting for the most sensible course of action
And getting rid of all the evidence
Discarding any proof or indication of our relationship
I cleaned the bathroom with your toothbrush
Using your toothbrush to scrub away any remnants of you
The one you won't be making use of
Since you will no longer need it
I even took the time to wipe down
Thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing everything you touched
Every single thing that you touched
Referencing all the objects you came into contact with
But, these sexy pictures in my cell phone
Intending to retain the enticing images in my possession
I'm gonna go ahead and keep those
Deciding to hold onto them regardless
In case you try and put me on
To have a safeguard in case you attempt to manipulate or deceive me
Those are gonna get me off
Those images will provide me pleasure and reaffirm my self-worth
Tell your girl come pick up this box that
Requesting your current partner to retrieve the belongings I've collected
I just went through
The box I meticulously organized
Every time I see your clothes I
Whenever I encounter your garments
Think of how they fit you
Recalling how they used to adorn your body
So I put them in with
Consequently placing them together with
Everything that's gonna remind me
All the things that will trigger memories
The one I thought would never front
The person I believed would never deceive me
I gotta put behind me
I need to leave in the past
I thumb through all the pictures we once had
Browsing through all our previous photographs
Thought you were the one now you're
Believed you were my soulmate, but now you are
Just one that I untagged
Just someone I want to dissociate myself from
Ever since we're not together
Since the moment we ended our relationship
Everything is hella clear
Everything has become incredibly clear to me
I'm getting rid of all the evidence
I am removing any traces or proof of your existence
That you were ever here
That you were ever a part of my life
