Thanks For The Ride

(album: No Closer To Heaven - 2015)

I washed chain grease and blood off of my hands in the ocean;
I let the salt water rinse the dirt away.
I stood calm in a room I hadn't been in in a decade.
I felt dizzy, used to stand here everyday.

Wait out the storm in a harbor town.
Pretend I'll see you in fall.
Wait out the storm in a harbor town.
Whoa.

Hey Hannah, don't go.
We could have given you such a beautiful home.
I won't call.
Know you're waiting right outside.
Thanks for the ride.

I watched lines of container ships drift in just off of Long Beach.
I thought long about where you would be today.
We'd lose touch after college came and went.
I'd hear you got married to some boy from California;
Have a baby on the way.

Wait out the storm in a harbor town.
Pretend I'll see you in fall.
Wait out the storm in a harbor town.
Whoa.

Hey Hannah, don't go.
We could have given you such a beautiful home.
I won't call.
Know you're waiting right outside.
Thanks for the ride.

Hey Hannah, don't go.
We could have given you such a beautiful home.
I won't call.
Know you're waiting right outside.

I'm letting balloons drift off tiny gifts to a lonely god.
Darling please wake up.
I'm letting balloons drift off tiny gifts to a lonely god.
If you see her tell her I'm not giving up.
(See her tell her I'm not giving up.)

Hey Hannah, don't go.
We could have given you such a beautiful home.
I won't call.
Know you're waiting right outside.

Hey Hannah, don't go.
We could have given you such a beautiful home.
I won't call.
Know you're waiting right outside.
(Thanks for the ride.)

Hey Hannah, don't go.
We could have given you such a beautiful home.
I won't call.
Know you're waiting right outside.
Thanks for the ride.
