Lyrics for Checking Out

You keep me hanging here And you steal my time While I wear my heart out on my sleeve, Oh, on my sleeve. Me, I am falling down, Come see me drown Checking Out the bottles At the bar... Like to be away so far... (Guitar solos) Me, wonder will the wind blow? Am I chasing snow, though I'll never show My sorrow's face, my sorrow's face? Oh you, do you have to toy with A bolted chest in my mind's chaotic Lumber room, rattling on fair fortune's loom? (Ending chords)
