lyrics

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
