All the notes you wrote me

They're falling apart

I try to read them but

The phrases stop and start

And you know

And you know

I never looked too close

But you know

But you know

It's never what you want

You judge a town by the sound of its bells

Now I'm knocking on doors

But with nothing to sell

If you wake with a gun in your hand

No you don't count your bullets

You just aim at a dying man

You stole the words

From the same old drinking song

You should go home

But you're scared that you'll find it's gone

I heard you said there's a ghost in your head

Now it's rattling chains

And it's burning your bed

Now you find that your sister is gone

She wrote goodbye

In the leaves on the lawn

You stole the words

From the same old drinking song

You should go home

But you're scared that you'll find it's gone

I'd like to see you from a million miles away

It's like I see you but I can't hear what you say

I'd like to see you from a million miles away

From a million miles away

From a million miles away

You stole the words

From the same old drinking song

You should go home

But you're scared that you'll find it's gone

You stole the words

From the same old drinking song

You should go home

But you're scared that you'll find it's gone

I'd like to see you from a million miles away

It's like I see you but I can't hear what you say
