lyrics

I often watch my castles fade when the water comes in
Cleaving under pressure, all that delicate sand
Trembling from exhaustion, my not so delicate hands

I'm sick of creepin' through the tidal waves, I'm fixin' to wade right in
A fixture on this lonely beach, an institution without whim
Will I let the Bay of Fundy swallow me or will I take it for a swim?

Often times unexpected stale feelings resurrected
I find myself once again in search of geographic fixes,
Even though I know it's only my behaviour that needs adjustment within

That silver spooned son-of-a-bitch, I swore I'd never be like him
Chasin' for the sun like anyone, anyone with his pants on fire

Often times unexpected stale feelings resurrected
And I find myself once again in search of geographic fixes,
Even though I know it's only my behaviour that needs adjustment within

Do I feel Sault Ste. Marie, or is it Buffalo, Wyoming?
It's just that I hate not knowin' what's around the bend...
I'm tuckered out from all my sins,
Petersburg when the lights go dim,
Always thinkin' to sink my teeth into your skin again
Could somebody try to explain to me how the world don't revolve around my head

So wrong, nice to meet you
And I was so wrong, nice to meet you
And now it's so long, nice to meet you!
When lights go dim,
Yeah, when lights go dim
Woot woot!
