Choking on the thought of leaving,
Drinking to keep from sobbing
4pm, 4 dollar pints - SFO - the time and price.

With all my happiness aborted, the PA painfully starts boarding
I sink deep - 30 thousand feet into my window seat - electric chair
and I was drinking you goodbye
A heart floats in the bay
From sour home Chicago
I hear it beating far away
There's no telling what I'll do
If I don't return to you.

Hopeful thoughts of soon returning,
can't put out my stomach burning.
Plastic wings and plastic smiles
Unsalted peanuts stretch my miles.

Choking on the thought of leaving,
Drinking to keep from heaving
5pm 5 dollar pints - Hellbound Airlines - time and price.
and I was drinking you goodbye
A heart floats in the bay
From sour home Chicago
I hear it beating far away
There's no telling what I'll do
If I don't return to you.

I was drinking you goodbye
A heart floats in the bay
From sour home Chicago
I hear it beating far away
There's no telling what I'll do
If I don't return to you.
