The 3:17 Ticket

[Intro]
[Verse]
Three seventeen on the dial
Fluorescent light is out of style
Dusty grooves across the floor
Rain is knocking at the door
Dryer thumps a heavy beat
Like a heart beneath the sheet
[Pre-Chorus]
Fog horn calls the tide
Nowhere left to hide
Bubbles cloud the glass
Watching minutes pass
[Chorus]
Faded ink on yellowed paper
Breath turns into winter vapor
A ferry ride to somewhere new
Was it ever meant for you?
Stranger in the thrifted wool
Gravity is such a pull
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning round and round
Lost and never found
Spinning round and round
Lost and never found
[Verse]
Sorting through the velvet piles
Empty sleeves and broken smiles
Found a secret in the seam
Wake me from this heavy dream
(Spoken: You left the salt behind)
(Spoken: And your peace of mind)
[Hook]
The water is rising slow
Where did the captain go?
The water is rising slow
Where did the captain go?
[Bridge]
Vending machine starts to shine
Like a holy neon shrine
Is there someone at the back?
Fading into shades of black
The container ship is groaning
The theremin is moaning
[Verse]
Vinyl crackle in my ear
The exit isn't very near
The ticket starts to fray
What was I going to say?
(Spoken: It doesn't matter anyway)
(Spoken: Just another rainy day)
[Chorus]
Faded ink on yellowed paper
Breath turns into winter vapor
A ferry ride to somewhere new
Was it ever meant for you?
Stranger in the thrifted wool
Gravity is such a pull
[Breakdown]
Suds and salt
All my fault
Suds and salt
All my fault
[Outro]
