Shirts and Socks But No Ties. Lyrics
Stand upright and tall,
Look at yourself inn the mirror
What are you looking at?
Almost flawless scratch on the film of this picture
Not perfect and I’m making amends like a stain I return
But not without a fight.
I’m following a craving, a longing,
Diligently I’m satisfied.
Seven scars, let’s take this suitcase and make it ours.
‘Cause I’m missing you more than I’m missing home
And I swear I won’t be the one to tell you I’m done.
Take this carnation and hold it for luck.
This wasn’t made for us, for your sake
it’s second to none.
At the brink of our account,
Deliver this message home.
And we’ll act like we know them
And they await our return..
Curious to peruse
the anxiousness I feel toward my friends
And the closest ones:
We won’t give them a “Thanks” or regards
Never claim our reward.
Seven scars, let’s take this suitcase and make it ours.
‘Cause I’m missing you more than I’m missing home
And I swear I won’t be the one to tell you I’m done.
Take this carnation and hold it for luck.
This wasn’t made for us, for your sake
it’s second to…
Look at yourself inn the mirror
What are you looking at?
Not perfect and I’m making amends like a stain I return
But not without a fight.
Diligently I’m satisfied.
‘Cause I’m missing you more than I’m missing home
And I swear I won’t be the one to tell you I’m done.
Take this carnation and hold it for luck.
This wasn’t made for us, for your sake
it’s second to none.
Deliver this message home.
And we’ll act like we know them
And they await our return..
the anxiousness I feel toward my friends
And the closest ones:
We won’t give them a “Thanks” or regards
Never claim our reward.
‘Cause I’m missing you more than I’m missing home
And I swear I won’t be the one to tell you I’m done.
Take this carnation and hold it for luck.

I think this song is about the feeling of being homesick, and the struggles that come with that.
