Song Analysis - Last Night For a Table of Two

The third song from Mayday Parade's Monsters in the Closet is Last Night For a Table of Two. The song is in the key of B-flat major. The chord progression for the majority of the song is  B♭-Cm-F-A♭-E♭. The song begins with a riff using the previously mentioned chords. This riff is also used in the choruses of the song. The progression for the verses of the song are B♭-F♯-D♭-B♭.

I like the song; the passion can be felt in Derek Sanders' and Jake Bundricks' dual-vocal performance and the other instruments blend together very well. The band reminisces about a past relationship with a bitter ending (a theme visited quite often by this band)
Mayday Parade always has a way of adding their own twist to songs and differentiating themselves from bands with similar style, this can be seen 2:06 into the song in the break and guitar solo that precedes the bridge. One thing I would do differently is raise the pitch of the key from B♭ to C. If I had to complain about one thing, I would say that the instrumentation would sound better in the key of C, but Derek Sanders' vocal range shines in the B♭ range and he is an amazing vocalist in my opinion.
