My eyes opened to the emptiness

My face was nothing but crooked lines

I guess somewhere I really fell behind

My feet were cold against the bathroom tile

Took a shower just to pass the time

My mind was full, too much to figure out

Walked through the snow to a bar where there's no one I know

Drink slow, drink slow with nowhere to go

And when I leave I'll be singing this song

Summer's gone, carry on, I'm a ghost in the dawn

I was lost on the airplanes, I was high on the fast trains

My heart was a bird in a small cage

And I was drunk on the radio waves

I was drunk, I was drunk on the radio waves

Too much coffee, I'm not steady now

Quiet apartment, ears are ringing loud

Winter drowns out all the city sounds

Hang my towel over the shower rod

So many hours just hanging on

So many chances have come and gone

Walked through the snow to a bar where there's no one I know

Drink slow, drink slow with nowhere to go

And when I leave I'll be singing this song

Summer's gone, carry on, I'm a ghost in the dawn

I was lost on the airplanes, I was high on the fast trains

My heart was a bird in a small cage

And I was drunk on the radio waves

I was drunk, I was drunk on the radio waves

And all this time passed me by

And I was trapped in waiting

Sometimes the truth is hard to find

And I was scared of changing

What will it say

On my snow-covered grave?

"He had it all

He let it all just slip away"

Walked through the snow to a bar where there's no one I know

Drink slow, drink slow with nowhere to go

And when I leave I'll be singing this song

The summer's gone, carry on, I'm a ghost in the dawn

I was lost on the airplanes, I was high on the fast trains

My heart was a bird in a small cage

And I was drunk on the radio waves

I was drunk, I was drunk on the radio waves
