lyrics

I’ve got a bad notion—
It’s starting to kill
Drag me to the ocean,
I’ll show you a cheap thrill
I’ve got friends in dark spaces
And voodoo dolls in my home
Seeing all those faces
makes me feel less alone

I’ve got a few hundred dollars
I’ve been saving for you
I figured out what to call her,
I figure I’ll never lose
There’s too many movies,
All the theatres are broke.
Got mouthfuls of rubies
Hoping that I don’t choke

Now everything’s broken,
Got no teeth left to talk
I’m sure it sounds like I’m joking
“Just go out for a walk”
but the weather is wild and I’m feeling so bad.
Won’t you give me a smile,
won’t you call me a cab?

I’m sick from all the commotion,
All the lies and the tears.
I’ve had this bad notion,
I’ve been trying to tell you my fears.
But you say it’s too late now
You have put in your best
You are tired of trying
Now, we all need some rest.

Wake up if you hear me,
I tried hard not to call
I’ve been missing you near me
I can’t break my own fall
Take out all my poison
I can’t hear a sound
I want to let the noise in
I wish you would turn around

There’s a heaven above you
I know that you know
It’s so easy to love you
I don’t want you to go
No one’s saying you lost it
You still hold the high score
I keep thinking of Boston
Guess I’ve drifted too far from shore.
