Loose Ends

I woke up this morning, coughin’ and chokin’

Soaked in the belly of a whale

And I got loose ends

I got loose ends

To tie up on the mainland

And I can see the stars through

The hole in the ceiling

And just as the sunlight

Crack through the frostbite

Covering the lake

And there was nothin' else to do

Nothin' else to do

So I planned my escape

And as I walked out the water

So easy to find my quarter

Then I realized I faltered in leaving that place

(Ooh)

(Ah)

(ooh)

(ah)

So now I wake in the morning

Just like my father before me

With my suitcase, my suitcase

And when I pass by the shoreline

Hope to be picked up a second time

With my loose ends

With my loose ends

And as I walked out the water

So easy to find my quarter

Then I realized I faltered in leaving that place

And as I walked out the water

So easy to find my quarter

Then I realized I faltered

Then I realized I faltered at leaving this place

Leaving this place
