[Verse 1: Matt Skiba]
What do you see?
Staring at the ceiling
What would you dream?
If you could get to sleep at all
Said you can't breathe
A choking fear of feeling
Begs you to scream
Each and every nightfall
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]
If you're gonna go, then go, but go with caution
If you're gonna leave, then leave them holding the bag
Yeah
[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
And the rain will come and wash out every place we go
So drink with me now
I'm only terrified when you're letting go
So shake with me now
[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
It's time to tell you how I really feel
Cameron says it's time for a change
You wеnt to the mountains to hunt ghosts
I watched in horror as we spokе
For what was the last time in our lives, as far as he knows
[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]
If you're gonna go, then go, but go with caution
If you're gonna leave, then leave them holding the bag
Oh yeah
[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
And the rain will come and wash out every place we go
So drink with me now
I'm only terrified when you're letting go
So shake with me now
[Post-Chorus: Dan Andriano]
When the light has given up on me, but I'm still not hard to find
These fingernails, like breadcrumb trails I always leave behind
When it's raining rats and nasty thoughts inside my head
And there's only one place I should be, but I'm here instead
[Bridge: Matt Skiba]
Lie awake in the moonlight
Drive as fast as you can
Die out there in the sunshine
Washed up here on the sand
Now, everybody knows where everybody goes to
But no one can tell us if we're going alone
No
[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
And the rain will come and wash out every place we go
So drink with me now
I'm only terrified when you're letting go
So shake with me now
[Post-Chorus: Dan Andriano]
When the light has given up on me, but I'm still not hard to find
These fingernails, like breadcrumb trails I always leave behind
When it's raining rats and nasty thoughts inside my head
And there's only one place I should be, but I'm here instead
