ORIGINAL LYRICS:
stood out on the porch
and it is sinking
it was a goodbye of sorts
and it is sinking in
i am naked and you are blind
look right through me with your
sleepy eyes
these memories are just little lies
and it is sinking in
i am sinking
and i will sink this ship
if it comes to this
and i will sink this ship
oh i will sink this ship
if it comes to this
and i will sink this ship
this old mattress aches
and it is sinking
these things they tend to complicate
and it is sinking in
the stars that hug a swollen sky
i wait for summer to pass me by
but i'm not good with patience
not good with time
and so for now
i'll sink this
and i will sink this ship
if it comes to this
and i will sink this ship
oh i will sink this ship
if it comes to this
and i will sink this

ORIGINAL LYRICS
winter sigh
shop with a broken sign
kiss the crook of my arm
oh darling let's get you warm
and everything was light
locked behind those eyes
and dance a waltz for cold hands
sing to me concrete romance
lansdowne lansdowne
i'm gonna lay my head
on this broken ground
let's keep driving west of town
i can't stand to keep that frown
locked in a box
in my basement apartment
we'll shake hands and part our ways
i know you can't but i wish you'd stayed with me
invite me in for peppermint tea
lansdowne lansdowne
i'm gonna lay my head
on this broken ground
shopkeeper closed up late
the brokenhearted make their way
back home
back home
lansdowne lansdowne
i'm gonna lay my head
on this broken ground
lansdowne lansdowne
i'm gonna lay my head
on this broken ground

ORIGINAL LYRICS:
the wind is crisp
at the end of may
it's too dangerous
so why can't you stay
we'll look for ghosts
beneath the stairs
so when you leave
i won't feel as scared
there's a light on in the kitchen
no matter how late you go out
there's a light on in the kitchen
i'd ask for you to stay the night
there's a light on
here
there's a light on
here
i've drawn away the curtains
so you can look inside
see into my living room
look into my life
and in these darkened hours
when everyone's asleep
there's a light on in the kitchen
if you remember where i left the key
there's a light on
here
there's a light on
here
there's a light on in the kitchen
no matter how late you go out
there's a light on in the kitchen
i'd ask for you to stay the night
there's a light on
here
there's a light on
here

ORIGINAL LYRICS:
the first and the last
the toes the knees the hands in that order
look away look away over here
look away now look away over here
the time that went by
in an hour underground
a day ago last year
look away look away over here
look away look away over here
look away now look away over here
determine what it's worth before you even try
decide what you want before you make her sigh
i can hear her thoughts echo in his mind
little moon shaped scars is all he left behind
look away look away over here
look away now look away over here
look away look away over here
look away now look away over here
