"Annie's Always Waiting (For The Next One To Leave)" lyrics - MATT NATHANSON

On the outskirts of the wreckage
Out in the sun under the Golden Gate
Annie said she was waiting for the next one to leave.

She had a masters degree in disappointment
That's what she said to me laughed when she said it
Flat on our backs in the grass out at Chrissy Field.

My life's a movie, my whole life's a movie
If movie's made you wanna jump off of a bridge
She said: 'I got one who moves me and one who sees through me'
'All I really want is a kiss'.

Oh, Annie's always waiting for the next one to leave
Oh, but she's right on time for me.

I got the right words from the wrong mouths
Hurricanes crashing hard like I'm the deep south
Well, it always looked like dry land out there to me.

She said, my mother, she taught me how to doubt myself
Now, she lives in my head like it's a tree house
I see her clearer in the mirror more and more each day.

My life's a movie, my whole life's a movie
If movie's made you wanna jump off of a bridge
She said: 'I got one who moves me and one who sees through me'
'All I really want is a kiss'.

Oh, Annie's always waiting for the next one to leave
Oh, but she's right on time for me.

I was only kidding when I said I like a fight
I was only kinda kidding when I said I like a fight
I was kinda kidding when I said I like a fight
But sometimes you gotta start 'em yourself.

Oh, Annie's always waiting for the next one to leave
Oh, but she's right on time for me.

Oh, Annie's always waiting for the next one to leave
Oh, but she's right on time.
