lyrics

the bedroom blinds hang vertical,
where holding hands read the personals,
you're the finish line with no laurel,
with no victory to taste,

just the paper match and the tv stand,
thin coat of dust on the mannequins,
and the summer dress you left hanging in,
oh the place we used to kiss,

now it's getting hot here on this sandy shore,
wish you'd need me less and want me more,
and the sunburned skin at the hotel door,
but you won't let him in,

and they found their own idea of home,
when they say they don't need ya anymore,
their own idea of home,

so it's gray ones down with the sidewalk girls,
spinning heads around bicycles,
cut their necklines in the motion blur,
no i wasn't far from it,

and you're smudging lines blind across your phone,
making star maps for the miserable,
got four hundred friends and a quiet phone,
to keep you up at night,

and they found their own idea of home,
when they say they don't need ya anymore,
their own idea of home,

left the room scraping for words,
flick the switch, let the bulbs get warm,
and he'd miss you more as an afterthought,
so we're down to this,

sing major chords, see colors bleed,
kiss the lips, part the zipper's teeth,
and i'll take my hours with me when i leave,
set their memories free,

and they found their own idea of home,
when they say they don't need ya anymore,
their own idea of home.
