The Twilight Sad - Floating In The Forth Lyrics

So you just stepped out
Of the front of my house
And I'll never see you again
I closed my eyes for a second
And when they opened
You weren't there
And the door shut shut
I was vacuum packed
Shrink-wrapped out of air
And the spine collapsed
And the eyes rolled back
To stare at my starving brain

And fully clothed, I float away
Down the Forth, into the sea
I think I'll save suicide for another day

And I picture this corpse
On the M8 hearse
And I have found a way to sleep
On a rolled up coat
Against the window
With the strobe of the sun
And the life I've led
Am I ready to leap
Is there peace beneath
The roar of the Forth Road Bridge?
On the northern side
There's a Fife of mine
And a boat in the port for me

Fully clothed, I'll float away
Down the Forth, into the sea
I'll steer myself
Through chopping waves
As manic gulls
Scream "It's okay"
Take your life
Give it a shake
Gather up
All your loose change
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
(I think I'll save suicide for another year)
Another year, another year, another year
I think I'll save suicide for another year
