[edit] Lyrics
Unsealed on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, i wanna leave it again
Once i saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand i wanna leave it again yeah
On a weekend i wanna wish it all away yeah
And they called and i said that i want what i said
And then i call out again
And the reason oughta' leave her calm i know
I said i know what i wear not the boxer or the bag
Ah yeah can you see them
Out on the porch yeah but they don't wave
I see them round the front way yeah
And i know and i know i don't want to stay
Make me cry
I see ooh i don't know why there's something else
I wanna go my own a-way
Oh i said i don't i don't know whether i was the boxer or the bag
Ah yeah can you see them
Out on the porch yeah but they don't wave
But i see them round the front way yeah
And i know and i know i don't wanna stay at all
I don't wanna stay yeah
I don't wanna stay
I don't wanna stay
I don't don't wanna oh yeah ooh ohh
