Shore Story
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I were you, I wouldn't answer it at all
It's late November mornin' and I'll be comin' home
For a little while, I could shake them
But the trail I left was strong
We could leave them waitin', nervous
'Cause I know
If I were you, I wouldn't answer the door
It's 2 am, I'm lookin' down the street
Where silence has eyes for her
Sleepin' while you replace me, safety turned off
We could leave them waitin', nervous
'Cause I know, know, know, yeah
And we made them nervous 'cause I know they're listenin'
We make them nervous on the phone, on the phone
We made them nervous 'cause I know they're listenin'
We make them nervous on the phone, on the phone
If I can't escape your hold, just let me go
Let me have this mutiny
I won't lose this time, reclaiming my night
Till the streets run red
I won't let you choose when I die
Regressin' on the dial
If I'm gon' lose my mind, just let me go
Let me have this mutiny
