lyrics
I have come for your compass.
I have come for your map, so baby give me all of your treasure.
Give me all of your trash.
Now someone else can hold you better, am I just holding you back
I would trade a piece of your leather, for a piece of your wax.
I still live in your basement, at least I do in my dreams where I hesitated to kiss you, c'mere I'll show you what I mean.
If you leave don't take me with you, leave me here as a ghost.
"Has it really been forever?" says the one I love the most.
I spend my days forgetting, regretting all the things I'll never say.
But this house is abandoned, we can turn our amps up all the way.
I'm ashamed of the things I did, but you can't blame me I was just a kid.
I was young dumb and vulnerable, I almost joined the carnival.
How'd we get on this train it's the last train out of here.
And I won't turn around until this town disappears.
Well I knew it would be lonely I didn't think it'd be this cold.
Now it's too late, we're never gonna make it home.
I have come for your map, so baby give me all of your treasure.
Give me all of your trash.
Now someone else can hold you better, am I just holding you back
I would trade a piece of your leather, for a piece of your wax.
I still live in your basement, at least I do in my dreams where I hesitated to kiss you, c'mere I'll show you what I mean.
If you leave don't take me with you, leave me here as a ghost.
"Has it really been forever?" says the one I love the most.
I spend my days forgetting, regretting all the things I'll never say.
But this house is abandoned, we can turn our amps up all the way.
I'm ashamed of the things I did, but you can't blame me I was just a kid.
I was young dumb and vulnerable, I almost joined the carnival.
How'd we get on this train it's the last train out of here.
And I won't turn around until this town disappears.
Well I knew it would be lonely I didn't think it'd be this cold.
Now it's too late, we're never gonna make it home.

about
The Tressels Pennsylvania
The Tressels turn personal and professional tragedies into earnest anthems about hope, addiction, betrayal, love, loss, nostalgia and regret played by life long friends who hold onto the heroic (or idiotic) notion that rock & roll is still a noble pursuit. ... more

The Tressels recommends:
-
Salacious pours his heart out. We can verify it's as honest and true as it is undeniably catchy. Addiction and madness: lust and love; all with a rhythm you can't help but dance to.
