Fire Escape
Crumpled up on the floor of the shower
Hope the neighbors aren't home
Bitter pills and a Camel for breakfast
Pour the day down the drain on my phone
It won't feel good 'till I hear your voice
On the north side of town
Clumsy words stumble over the phone
Glance down the hall in your hospital gown
Like the photographs hung up of tangled up bodies
On my old kitchen floor
The faces come flooding in and soak up the reasons
Why we're not that close anymore
Why I missed your wedding day and what was I running from
Closeness or distance or trucks in Nebraska
And I just black out what I do to survive
Life's got two yellow lines and I fell asleep driving
Your heart screams the word, your mouth finds their shape
"I'm not gonna die here"
The glass cuts your feet as you walk away
The picture gets clearer
It's a house up in flames and you built your own cage
Just so no one could hurt you
If there's nothing to lose, there's nothing to gain
That's just something you learn through
Hope the neighbors aren't home
Bitter pills and a Camel for breakfast
Pour the day down the drain on my phone
It won't feel good 'till I hear your voice
On the north side of town
Clumsy words stumble over the phone
Glance down the hall in your hospital gown
Like the photographs hung up of tangled up bodies
On my old kitchen floor
The faces come flooding in and soak up the reasons
Why we're not that close anymore
Why I missed your wedding day and what was I running from
Closeness or distance or trucks in Nebraska
And I just black out what I do to survive
Life's got two yellow lines and I fell asleep driving
Your heart screams the word, your mouth finds their shape
"I'm not gonna die here"
The glass cuts your feet as you walk away
The picture gets clearer
It's a house up in flames and you built your own cage
Just so no one could hurt you
If there's nothing to lose, there's nothing to gain
That's just something you learn through
