Lyrics:

Slow wind that blows across your room
Carried cheap perfume onto your dresser
It aimed for jewelry and for credit cards
Two tickets to a film I don't remember
Oh one day you'll kiss your rabbits's nose
Pick up the phone to find I've been turned over
You grab that piece of gold only to find
That the smell has taken over
Now all the things you have, they aren't the same
As what you hold
I'm now standing in a room that's filed with older folks
And they're bleeding baby, listen
And I scream as loud as anyone
But when asked to make a point I tend to whisper
And now highways turn to tidal waves
They're asking me to explore all of your insecurities
But that wind that blows across your room is gonna set the sail
Send me back for you
Sometimes when sailors are sailing
They think twice about where they're anchoring in
I think I could make better use of my time on land
I 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, yeah I'm doing alright.'
Well it's a shame what your father did to your brother's head
And he smashed it with a telephone
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 ya love just ain't some blood on the reciever
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 in
I think that I could make better use of my time on land
I 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, yeah I'm doing alright
Yeah, I'm doing just fine
This sea seems just lonely as we let her sink
Yeah, I'm doing alright
Yeah, I'm doing just fine
This sea seems just lonely as we let her sink
You let her sink
You let her.'
