Ribcage Rattling

Verse 1

Left my pride on the front steps

Found a postcard in the mailbox instead

Thought you would stay for breakfast

Baby you chose the open highway road

Woke up to a blue morning

Sun hitting the wallpaper in the hall

Dogs barking at the milkman

Nothing felt like it belonged to me

Pre-Chorus

But I saw your shadow moving

Down by the station where we used to meet

Looking for a different reason

Just to hear that old locomotive scream

Chorus

Heartbreak rattling my ribcage now

Baby I am shaking like a leaf

Trying to get steady on my feet

Heartbreak rattling my ribcage now

It is a lonely kind of hollow

Yes a lonely kind of hollow

Verse 2

Blue denim and black leather

Stuck in the pockets of a dream

Wondering if the storm will ever break

Cigarette smoke circling the kitchen table

Half a glass of water

Waiting for a ring that never comes

Radio playing a sad tune

Echoing the way I feel today

Pre-Chorus

Because I saw your shadow moving

Down by the station where we used to meet

Looking for a different reason

Just to hear that old locomotive scream

Chorus

Heartbreak rattling my ribcage now

Baby I am shaking like a leaf

Trying to get steady on my feet

Heartbreak rattling my ribcage now

It is a lonely kind of hollow

Yes a lonely kind of hollow

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow the world turns around

Maybe I find what I lost in the crowd

No more crying no more lying

Trying to make it to the sun

Just let the river run

Chorus

Heartbreak rattling my ribcage now

Baby I am shaking like a leaf

Trying to get steady on my feet

Heartbreak rattling my ribcage now

It is a lonely kind of hollow

Yes a lonely kind of hollow

Chorus

Heartbreak rattling my ribcage now

Baby I am shaking like a leaf

Trying to get steady on my feet

Heartbreak rattling my ribcage now

It is a lonely kind of hollow

Yes a lonely kind of hollow
