waking up in baltimore to find the world in my bathroom
but I look through everyone trying to find you
cause you left that night in such a hurry
you forgot to say goodbye
so excited to start a new life

this morning my fingers smell like the sea
it makes me long for a new life just the same
with a fisherman for a lover
always coming home late at night
smelling of the sea, a lobsterman’s wife

so don’t forget to wash your hands
and don’t forget to wash behind your ears
cause that big and lonely bed of yours
will spit you back out if you smell like the sea
