Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ain't it just like dying
Except you can still feel the shame
[Instrumental]
All hands on deck now
The sea is getting rough again
[Instrumental]
You see him out your window
Even when you close the blinds
[Instrumental]
And all you ever wanted
Was someone to treat you nice and kind
[Instrumental]
Take a step before running
Take a breath now before you dive
[Instrumental]
When you work the streets, darling
Make sure your sneaker laces, they get tied
[Instrumental]
I'll be your blackbird, darling
Hanging on your telephone wire
[Instrumental]
Flap my wings on it
And set your heart afire
Written by: Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney
