[Verse 1]

You were waiting on the corner

For a bus that never showed

You saw the likeness of your father

Floating high above the road

But you'd been drinking when you saw him

And your mind was moving slow

Like your ears were full of cotton

So what he said you'll never know

[Verse 2]

Later on out on the water

You felt a presence in your boat

Hit the lights and killed the motor

Only to find yourself alone

So you fumbled through your pockets

Hoping you could find a smoke

Wondered how you're still hungover

From what you drank three nights ago

[Chorus 1]

Coming down

There's a dim light

A narrow sound

Opening wide

Getting loud

Getting real quiet

Slipping out

Slipping in like

A tongue

[Verse 3]

I went walking in my dress shoes

I left my wallet and my phone

But I lost track of my direction

Caught in the rain on my way home

I'm not sure what I was expecting

I guess I really should have known

I'd find you right there where I left you

That I could never be alone

[Chorus 2]

Coming down

There's a bright light

A gentle sound

Opening wide

Getting loud

Or staying real quiet

Slipping out

Slipping in like

You've done

Coming down

Coming down
