[Verse 1]
The sun's on the ceiling
Is my sign for leaving
She's lying there sleeping
As I slip away
Like a thief in the night
In God's-honest daylight
My life is like a re-run
That I can't change

[Chorus]
Anchors away
Works like a charm
The first sign of danger
I pull the alarm
Something's broken in me
I don't wanna leave
I don't know how to stay
Anchors away

[Verse 2]
Well this house is haunted
The last thing I wanted
Was your memory gone
I wish it would go
'Cause she just reminds me
Of all that I should be
But I'm just a ghost
Of the man you know
[Chorus]
Anchors away
Works like a charm
The first sign of danger
I pull the alarm
Something's broken in me
I don't wanna leave
I don't know how to stay
Anchors away
Anchors away

[Bridge]
Don't worry, Darling
If there's a storm
You can count on me runnin
Trust me, I'll be long gone

[Chorus]
Anchors away
It works like a charm
The first sign of danger
I just pull the alarm
Something's broken in me
I don't wanna leave
I don't know how to stay
Anchors away
Anchors away
Anchors away
Anchors away
