Irish Goodbyes

Wisconsin pines

Are growing through the floor

Of my vacant house

Breaking down the boards

Ripping up these wires

Cord by cord

But I still survive here

Two broken wine

Bottles on the floor

My mystery mistress

Dressed in thistle and thorns

Growing superstitious

This is a warning

That it's disposition

So what are we waiting for

Lock the door

Hide the keys in the floorboards

What are we missing this time

This time

You swore nevermore

You would leave through the back door

No more Irish goodbyes

Goodbyes

These hands of time

Started ticking slow

Trapped in limbo

Back turned as she's performing

Terrified I'd leave before the morning

But the windows open

So what are we waiting for

Lock the door

Hide the keys in the floorboards

What are we missing this time

This time

You swore nevermore

You would leave through the back door

No more Irish goodbyes

Goodbyes

Oh no no

Please lock the door when you leave this

Please lock the door when you leave this

Please lock the door when you leave this

Please lock the door when you leave this home

Please lock the door when you leave this

Please lock the door when you leave this

Please lock the door when you leave this home

So what are we waiting for

Lock the door

Hide the keys in the floorboards

What are we missing this time

This time

You swore nevermore

You would leave through the back door

Or leave her behind if she wanted to try

Now you're reading a text through

Love sick eyes

Cause you're already

Gone

You're already gone

You're already gone

You're already gone
