Track Name: Ghost
I like to pretend
ghosts dance around the room
but you're in your bare feet
because you slipped right through your shoes

I like to pretend
that I can still see you
you walked a thousand miles
just to hear me sing to you

but now you're gone
and this doesn't make sense

I like to pretend
ghosts dance around the room
Track Name: Look Close
if you look close
you can see me etching marks in
from under the floorboards
I've been turning faults to holes
and this place into my home
making my presence obvious

I like the feeling that I don't belong

have you ever felt like you don't belong
and you fall into places where you don't fit
well, these puzzle pieces that surround you
they never make sense
never make sense at all

if you look closer
you can see me crunching numbers
and solving equations
i've been falling in love with holes
and slowly destroying homes
i hope i'm not too obvious
Track Name: Hospital Gowns
we raced in hospital gowns
reminiscing on our days as the weekend warriors
but now there's an IV dripping down
and tracing our footsteps in a town we used to own

but we can still sneak out
we can get piss drunk and pass out
might be hazardous to our health
but oh well, oh well

it's funny how the worst in you
brings out the best in me
but the best in you
has yet to be seen
it's funny how the worst in you
brings out the best in me

but we can still sneak out
we can get piss drunk and pass out
might be hazardous to our health
but oh well, oh well
and when the sun sets
i'll be an ear to a helpless friend
might be hazardous to my health
but oh well, oh well

just stay awake a little longer
just stay awake for tonight
Track Name: Drop the Line
be sure you come alone
there's only room in this bed for two
now there's only room in this bed for you
and i'm survived by my mild anchor
something for you to hold on to
if you ever really told the truth
if you ever really miss this boy

drop the line
an anchor tied to an anchor
is just a failed attempt to stay afloat
and in time
maybe i can forgive you
maybe the ocean can swallow you whole

and are you amused
to know they search for you
for a pair of flooded lungs
betrayed by your deepest blues
i will die with my mild anchor
the one cure for my loneliness blues
can only kill me faster

drop the line
an anchor tied to an anchor is
just a failed attempt to stay afloat
and in time
maybe i can forgive you
maybe the ocean can swallow you whole

maybe the ocean can swallow you whole
but don't be afraid because you won't be alone

you won't be alone

you'll be my excuse
something for me to hold onto

and are you amused
to know they search for you
for a pair of flooded lungs
and a captain too proud
to be on his sinking ship alone
