Astronautalis - Lakefront Property lyrics

You left me standing on the edge of the lake They all left for Rome, but I couldn't get a pa**port today I guess a mistake they said it just slipped their mind And I am standing here all alone grinding my time Went to the man in the government office Asked him how fast I could get a ticket of this Silly ride we call my dying days inside of this place He said "Your warrant's for arrest. We won't let you escape" So I said "Okay, I guess I'll just wait" Send me a postcard from the city of Rome Tell me all the pretty things about the girls that you know Buy me a bottle of wine and send it on air mail express I'll drink it all alone inside my home by the lake in this mess I'll send a, a thank you for not leaving in the night At least saying goodbye and let me have my dignity right I know I'm just a little sad ba*tard making a mess Of this stupid little story that's dancin' in my head But when I wake inside my bed and you're gone I got nothin' better to do than stand outside And wave to the geese flying over my front lawn So I eat, sleep, drink and count the walls and tiles And then I'll sit here and maybe try to crack a smile But every day I sit and think of what you're doing right now My friends and family skipped town - left me all alone in this crowd And I know I'm just a sad excuse for... whatever - who cares But bottom line is it's just a dream and I wake up right here Next to you, next to your face and inside my bed In my home in Jacksonville where no one's going anywhere I still don't got a pa**port or a ticket of this ride But f**in' A, I'll stick around for the rest of my life When I'm riding 'round the globe And I'm doing this and I'm signin' that And I'm trying And I'm trying
