Choking on the thought of leaving

Drinking to keep from sobbing

4pm, 4 dollar pints - SFO - the time and price

With all my happiness aborted

The PA painfully starts boarding

I sink deep, 30 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 it beating far away

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 stretch my miles

Choking on the thought of leaving

Drinking to keep from heaving

5pm, 5 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 it beating far away

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 it beating far away

There's no telling what I'll do

If I don't return to you
