lyrics

You’ll go sinking
As far as the ocean goes
With all the friend’s you’re scared of
Goodnight dark morning
And your stone cold snoring

There’ll be less and less
For you to call home
And there’ll be less and less
For you to call home
But the stop signs are all the same
And the street signs are all the same

You said it was me who left
And drove away
And I’m not aloud to miss you
So good night my old friend
And your charming and comfortable house

You’ll fall asleep
Clothes on the floor
Alarm clock set for four
And you’ll get up and drive
On the empty street
To the airport which feels like home

There’ll be less and less
For you to call home
And there’ll be less and less
For you to call home
But the stop signs are all the same
And the street signs are all the same
