Choking on the thought of leaving, drinking to keep from sobbing
4pm, 4 dollar pints, SFO, the time and priceWith all my happiness aborted, the PA painfully starts boarding
I sink deep 30, 000 feet into my window seat, electric chairAnd I was drinking you goodbye, a heart floats in the bay
From sour home Chicago, I hear it beating far away
There's no telling what I'll do, if I don't return to youHopeful thoughts of soon returning, can't put out my stomach burning
Plastic wings and plastic smiles, unsalted peanuts stretch my milesChoking on the thought of leaving, drinking to keep from heaving
5pm, 5 dollar pints, Hell bound Airlines, time and priceAnd I was drinking you goodbye, a heart floats in the bay
From sour home Chicago, I hear it beating far away
There's no telling what I'll do, if I don't return to youI was drinking you goodbye, a heart floats in the bay
From sour home Chicago, I hear it beating far away
There's no telling what I'll do, if I don't return to you
