lyrics

You've got a penchant for California hangovers
Between the best and what is left.
The best and what is left.
On the balcony of eternal summer
Our clothes folded on the hotel bed
In one final rebellion
We drove down the winding coast.
Knowing we both helped create it.
And you'd say "Anchors aweigh!"

I found a box of perfect matches
Dropped them in my pocket
And tore my plane ticket in half.
In the same rags with a new commitment
And a telescope outstretched
One continent and then the next.
So we drove down the winding coast
Knowing we're in dire straits.
And you'd say, "Anchors aweigh!"

My dinner guests were running late
The copper watchdog tamed the snakes
And the silence was piercing.
The Empire State is running through my veins
While you're packing up your things
And it's gonna hurt when you leave.
So we drove down the winding coast.
I know I should be letting go.
But it's a birthday party babe,
So just one last time won't you come and spin in place?
And you'd say "Anchors aweigh!"
