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: 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
