Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Put everything in boxes
Your head in a paper bag
Leave all the windows open
Leave the beds unmade
[PreChorus]
Tell them that you've gone to see
If you can find out what it means
When your mind leaves your body
[Chorus]
Turn off the house
Turn off the house
[Verse 2]
Nothing you need to get back to
No one you need to see
Leave all the messages blue
Don't even look at the screen
[PreChorus]
Full body gentle shutdown
So many people to let down
Don't even think about me
[Chorus]
Turn off the house
Turn off the house
[Chorus]
You're bailing out
You're free of it now
[PreChorus]
Full body gentle shutdown
So many people to let down
Don't even think about me
[Chorus]
Turn off the house
Turn off the house
Turn off the house
Turn off the house
[Chorus]
You're bailing out
You're free of it now
You're bailing out
You're free of it now
