Annie's Always Waiting (For the Next One to Leave)
One, two
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 Crissy Field
My life's a movie
My whole life's a movie
If movie's made you wanna
Jump off a bridge
She said, "I got one who moves me
And one who sees through me
All I really want is a kiss"
Oh, oh
Annie's always waiting for the next one to leave
Oh, 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
Oh no, she said, my mother
She taught me how to doubt myself
Now, she lives in my head
Like it's a treehouse
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 a bridge
She said "I got one who moves me
And one who sees through me
And all I really want is a kiss"
Oh, oh
Annie's always waiting for the next one to leave
Oh, 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, oh
Annie's always waiting for the next one to leave
Oh, oh
But she's right on time for me
Oh, oh
Annie's always waiting for the next one to leave
Oh, oh
But she's right on time
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 Crissy Field
My life's a movie
My whole life's a movie
If movie's made you wanna
Jump off a bridge
She said, "I got one who moves me
And one who sees through me
All I really want is a kiss"
Oh, oh
Annie's always waiting for the next one to leave
Oh, 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

Oh, oh

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