anchors away

sun's on the ceiling

is my sign for leaving

she's lying there sleeping

as i slip away

like a thief in the night

in the god honest daylight

my life's like a rerun

guess i'll never change

anchor's away

works like a charm

the first sign of danger

i pull the alarm

something's broken in me

i don't wanna leave

don't know how to stay

anchor's away

anchor's away

this house is haunted

the last thing i wanted

is your memory gone

but i wish it would go

cause she just reminds me

of all that i should be

but i'm just a ghost of the man that you know

anchor's away

works like a charm

the first sign of danger

i pull the alarm

something's broken in me

i don't wanna leave

i don't know how to stay

anchor's away

anchor's away

don't worry darling

if there's a storm

you can count on me running

trust me i'll be long gone

anchor's away

works like a charm

the first sign of danger

i pull the alarm

something's broken in me

i don't wanna leave

i don't know how to stay

anchor's away

anchor's away

anchor's away

anchor's away
