So the wind that blows across your room Carried cheap perfume onto your dresser It rained for jewelry and for credit cards Two tickets to a film I don't remember Oh one day you'll kiss your rabbit's nose pick up the phone To find I've been turned over And you'll grab that piece of gold Only to find that the smell has taken over Now all the things you had they aren't the same As what you hold I'm standing in a room It's filled with older folks pleading baby listen And I scream as loud as anyone But when asked to make a point I tend to whisper Now highways turn to tidal waves They're asking me to export all of your insecurities But that wind that blows across your room It's gonna set the sails and send me back to you Sometimes when sailors are sailing They think twice about where they're anchoring And I think I could make better use a my time on land I'll drink less Cause lord knows I could use a warm kiss Instead of a cold goodbye I'm writing the folks back home to tell them Hey I'm Hey I'm doing alright It's a shame what your father did to your brother's head He smashed it with a telephone And your mother got scared and locked the door You were only four but lord you remember it So now you're scared of love I'm here to tell you loves not some fucking blood on the receiver ooh Love is speaking in code It's an inside joke Love is coming home Sometimes when sailors are sailing They think twice about where they're anchoring And I think I could make better use a my time on land I'll drink less cause lord knows I could use a warm kiss instead of a cold goodbye I'm writing the folks back home to tell them Hey I'm hey I'm doing alright Yeah I'm doing just fine And if she seems as lonely as me Let her sink Yeah I'm doing alright oh Yeah I'm doing just fine oh And if she seems as lonely as me Let her sink Let her sink Let her
