Apartment Fire

As soon as I come out

The smoke is down the hall

Beat a path to your apartment

We ring up all the love

That you had started to say

Couldn't waste another moment

No one kept the exits clear

Tossing around in your sleep, unaware

First time I'm awake at night

Don't wanna do this alone

So, come on

Don't wanna let you go

Oh no

Leave me all by myself

This music has the firefighters below

Dream-soaked and my eyes are all lit up

As soon as they can take two bodies from the hands

Coughing at the soot and sand

I'm terrified that I will wake up from this dream

There's no you and only me

So, come on

Don't wanna let you go

Oh no

Leave me all by myself

The news is on the T.V. now

It's playing hard to get

There's static on the radio

And now there's nothing there

It's just a count to six o'clock

That's all I've done

The neighbours trucking in last night

The smell of cigarettes

It's sinking in by now

There's all around, there's wild

And you don't have control this time

And everybody's singing out, "So long"

So, come on

Don't wanna let you go

Oh no

Leave me all by myself

Come on

Don't wanna let you go

Oh no

Leave me all by myself
