we're all just waiting to get home.

Know we do this cause we care,

I'm an old abandoned church with broken pews
D#m
and empty aisles.

My secrets for a buck.

on this stage. Yes, I am paid
D#m A#7
to spill my guts. Won't see home till spring.

but I am paid to make girls panic
while I sing.

You win, you win, you win.
[Bridge]
F# D#m
And the coastline is quiet.
A#7
While we're quietly losing control.
And we're silent but sure

we inventened the cure
that will wash out my memories of her.

The water is red."
