[verse]
mayday, the fog horn was blowing mad and it's a
grey day, trying not to notice that it's your
birthday, distract the focus from your slow,
decay, and how you feel alone sometimes,
yeah you feel alone sometimes, and you
[chorus]
hate the radio,
for playing songs you think you could write yourself.
on your own,
no you're never with anybody else these days.
(woah) and you,
used to hate when the planes would shake,
but now you're thinking it's kind of fun,
knowing that you could go down,
thirty-thousand, all alone.
[verse 2]
drive out, far from the city where you can
see the drought, and man's great beginnings but you can't,
figure out, why your hair is thinning now and so you,
climb a mountain. 'cause it's the character that counts.
but your character is out.
[chorus]
hate the radio,
for playing songs you think you could write yourself.
on your own,
no you're never with anybody else these days.
(woah) and you,
used to hate when the planes would shake,
but now you're thinking it's kind of fun,
knowing that you could go down,
thirty-thousand, all alone.
(woo)
[bridge]
(yeah and so you)
cut your hair,
change your style,
you act like you've been here for a while,
turn your head, fake a smile,
'cause it's alright brother, it's alright brother,
it's alright if you can pretend.
yeah, it's alright brother, it's alright brother,
it's alright if you can pretend.
(woah)

[verse]
home: knock knockin' on my car window,
something's calling me out on the road,
so I pack my my bags on the Northern coast,
running from the cold, running from the cold (now).
(ooo)
take me back to who I was before,
but then I got this job and all of this commotion,
and up above the clouds of the richest coast,
I can see the sand on the bottom of the ocean.
(ooo) x 2
[chorus]
she said: 'take me to that place you go,
when you leave me all alone,
when you're sleeping/daydreaming in your mind.'
(yeah) 'take me to that place you go,
when you leave me here all alone,
when you're sleeping/daydreaming in your mind.'
[verse 2]
send a note to the one I love/been thinking of,
for as long as I remember,
but leave before I say something dumb, like:
'hey I like your shirt/should we talk about the weather?'
(ooo)
so I've been known to drift away,
but it's hard to hear with all these songs in my head,
and I promise that I will be back one day,
(yeah) what was that you said then?
(ooo) x 2
[chorus]
she said: 'take me to that place you go,
when you leave me all alone,
when you're sleeping/daydreaming in your mind.'
(yeah) 'take me to that place you go,
when you leave me here all alone,
when you're sleeping/daydreaming in your mind.'
