Alkaline Trio - San Francisco lyrics

Choking on the thought of leaving
Drinking to keep from sobbing
4 PM, four dollar pints
The SFO, the time and price

With all my happiness aborted
The PA painfully starts boarding
I sink deep, thirty 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 you beating far away
And 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 to stretch my miles

Choking on the thought of leaving
Drinking to keep from heaving
5 PM, five 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 you beating far away
And 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 you beating far away
And there's no telling what I'll do
If I don't return to you
