Lyrics:

Don't leave me here at this party like a coat on a hook

Two days we're still not talking

You're the opposite of an open book

Come back for me

Everyone's nervous and looking at their feet

I ask the same questions to everyone I see

What am I missing? Where have you been?

What if they ask me about it?

Where would I begin?

Friendships are melting, nothing is helping

Nothing's worth keeping, promises cheapen

From the beginning I've had you in my mind

Been dead slow swimming to you in the dead low tide

This isn't your problem, believe me, I know how I sound

Don't feel like myself anymore when you're not around

Friendships are melting, nothing is helping

Nothing's worth keeping, promises cheapen

Two years since I saw you last curling your

Hair with your pistol telling me not to be so melodramatic

I’ll be waving red flashlights on a roof on an island

You always come back from things like this

Don't leave me here at this party like a coat on a hook

Two days we're still not talking

You're the opposite of an open book

Come back for me

Everyone's nervous and looking at their feet

I ask the same questions to everyone I see

Where are the ninety-nines? Everyone's missing

It's like a confession with nobody listening

Friendships are melting, nothing is helping

Nothing's worth keeping, promises cheapen

Two years since I saw you last curling your

Hair with your pistol telling me not to be so melodramatic

It warms my face and gets my hands to open

Snakes in the water paths of our silverware softened

Like it says on the prescription

Don't leave me here at this party like a coat on a hook
