[Verse 1]
I'm sailin' away to a place I'm afraid of
The dawn isn't here, the sun hasn't rose
I'm drinkin' my days with the coastal longshoreman
They got money to make and children back home
The last that I heard, you were down in New Orleans
Workin' your days at The Print
I drink 'til I drown and I smoke 'til I'm burnin'
Your hands are all over my scent
I worry for you, you worry for me
And it's fine if we know we won't change
Collect every dream in these old empty pockets
In hope that I'll need them some day
[Chorus]
But the wreckage of you, I no longer reside in
And the bridges have long since been burnt
The ash of the home that I started the fire in
It starts to return to the Earth
I'm leavin' this town and I'm changin' my address
I know that you'll come if you want
It's not Halloween, but the ghost you dressed up as
Sure knows how to haunt, yes, it knows how to haunt
[Post-Chorus]
Mm-hmm-mm
