lyrics

Like the last of kin
With his hand on the plug
It's just not enough
To call it all off

In front of their eyes
It's all been a lie

Like Ginger and Astaire
We keep it up for show
We don't love it anymore
But you don't like being alone

I lay me down
In this mess that we made
Cause maybe in sleep
It's still cheek to cheek

And I know it's not right
This Irish goodbye

Like Ginger and Astaire
It's all we've ever known
My oars to the storm
You're clawing back to shore

Clawing back to shore
