Lyrics Alkaline Trio

Alkaline Trio

San Francisco

Choking on the thought of leaving

Drinking to keep from sobbing

Four PM, four dollar pints

At 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

My 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

And salted peanuts to stretch my mile

Choking on the thought of leaving

Drinking to keep from heaving

Five PM, five dollar pints

Hellbound Airlines, time and price

And I was drinking you goodbye

My 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

My 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.
