rate me

So the wind that blows across your room <br />

Carried cheap perfume onto your dresser <br />

It rained for jewelry and for credit cards <br />

Two tickets to a film i don't remember <br />

One day you'll kiss your rabbits nose, pick up the phone <br />

To find ive been turned over <br />

And you'll grab that piece of gold <br />

Only to find that the smell has taken over <br />

Now all the things you had, they aren't the same... <br />

As what you hold <br />

<br />

Im standing in a room, <br />

Its filled with older folks pleading "baby listen" <br />

And i scream as loud as anyone, <br />

But when asked to make a point i tend to whisper <br />

Now highways turn to tidal waves <br />

They're asking me to export all of your insecurities <br />

But that wind that blows across your room <br />

Its gonna set the sails, and send me back to you <br />

<br />

Sometimes, when sailors are sailing <br />

They think twice, about where they're anchoring <br />

And i think, i could make better time of my time on land <br />

Ill drink less <br />

Cause lord knows i could use a warm kiss <br />

Instead of a cold goodbye <br />

Im writing the folks back home to tell them <br />

"hey im doing alright" <br />

<br />

Its a shame what your father did to your brothers head <br />

He smashed it with a telephone <br />

And your mother got scared and locked the door <br />

You were only four, but lord you remember it <br />

So now you're scared of love <br />

Im here to tell you loves not some fucking blood on the reciever <br />

Love is speaking in code <br />

Its an inside joke <br />

Love is coming home <br />

<br />

Sometimes, when sailors are sailing <br />

They think twice, about where they're anchoring <br />

And i think, i could make better time of my time on land <br />

Ill drink less <br />

Cause lord knows i could use a warm kiss <br />

Instead of a cold goodbye <br />

Im writing the folks back home to tell them <br />

"hey im doing alright" <br />

<br />

Yeah im doing just fine <br />

And if she seems as lonely as me..... <br />

Let her sink. <br />

Let her sink. <br />

Let her
