lyrics

up before sunrise
to hear my neighbors stir their coffee
laughing when their kid says dirty words
stick around for the goodbye
when their boy is pushing thirty
he'll have learned not to expect implied return

help me out, hang me out to dry
ask me how i am i feel alright
no really i'm feeling fine
shut my mouth, let me down this time
i miss your autumn stare, your hands running through my hair
like salt water

a grey car in the distance
i guess i've got about five seconds
to decide if i should wave or look away
from another total stranger
who i've probably never met but
i don't think i'm up for that much risk today

help me out, hang me out to dry
ask me how i am i feel alright
no really i'm feeling fine
shut my mouth, let me down this time
i miss your autumn stare, your hands running through my hair
like salt water

if one more person tells me
"hey listen, man, at least i bet you'll get some good songs
out of it"
i'll sell my things
& drive my car as far out west as it will go
& keep on going if i can

help me out, hang me out to dry
ask me how i am i feel alright
no really i'm doing fine
shut my mouth, let me down this time
i miss your autumn stare, your hands running through my hair
like salt water
