I wrote more postcards than hooks, I read more maps than books
And we won't let you in
Oh, I would kill for the Atlantic but I am paid to make girls panic while I sing
While we're quietly losing control
And we won't let you in
The cage is lowered
Every minute is a mile, I've never felt so hollow
Feel like every chance to leave is another chance I should have took
And we're silent but sure we invented the cure
My secrets for a buck, watch me as I cut myself wide open on this stage
That will wash out my memories of her
We don't want what isn't ours
Though we're down and out
You win, you win, you win
I'm an old abandoned church with broken pews and empty aisles
Another week away, my greatest fear
No we won't let you in
No we won't let you in
I won't see home till spring
And we won't let you in
Though we're down and out
And the coastline is quiet
You win, you win, you win
We don't want what isn't ours
Like you
Yes, I am paid to spill my guts
The water is red like you
We won't let you in
No, we won't let you in
The harpoon in loaded
As we won't let you in
We won't let you in
Though we're down and out
I make collect calls to home, tell 'em that I realize
And we won't let you in
Know we do this 'cause we care and not for the thrill
If looks could really kill then my profession would be staring
I need the smell of summer, I need it's noises in my ear
That everyone who lives will someday die and die alone
