Smoke Alarms
That night I willed all my love to shine
So bright that they could see it
Three thousand miles away hoping
The ocean wouldn't dim it
I waited 'till the daylight broke
I waited for their message
Three decades old and powerless
Guess nothing's changed I guess
I'm still a child after all
Peeking round the doorframe
Saving my sister from smoke alarms
And trying to avoid pain
Trying to avoid pain
Every year upon this earth
Get further from their orbit
I thought that I had learned to cope
That I could hold my own
But panicked tears and growing pains
Remain the blurred mirror image
Of a mess we just realized
Wasn't ours to begin with
And they're so far away
In a house I've never seen
And I'll be there one day
But for now I'm stuck in a bad dream
'Cause they are not with me
Ohhhhh
And I'm still a child after all
Peeking round the doorframe
Saving my sister from smoke alarms
And trying to avoid pain
Trying to avoid pain
So bright that they could see it
Three thousand miles away hoping
The ocean wouldn't dim it
I waited 'till the daylight broke
I waited for their message
Three decades old and powerless
Guess nothing's changed I guess
I'm still a child after all
Peeking round the doorframe
Saving my sister from smoke alarms
And trying to avoid pain
Trying to avoid pain
Every year upon this earth
Get further from their orbit
I thought that I had learned to cope
That I could hold my own
But panicked tears and growing pains
Remain the blurred mirror image
Of a mess we just realized
Wasn't ours to begin with
And they're so far away
In a house I've never seen
And I'll be there one day
But for now I'm stuck in a bad dream
'Cause they are not with me
Ohhhhh
And I'm still a child after all
Peeking round the doorframe
Saving my sister from smoke alarms
And trying to avoid pain
Trying to avoid pain
