Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every time I'm alone with you
The air gets heavy and drips like glue
And every time I take one step near
The strip-light flickers and I wake up here
[Verse 2]
Footsteps fall in time
Footsteps fall in time
[Verse 3]
Every time I step into this place
I can't stop lookin' for the fire escape
But the devil's gonna win this time
The devil's gonna win this time
The devil's gonna win this time
The devil's gonna win this time
[Verse 4]
I want you
Can't afford not to fight
Yeah, I want you
Can't afford not to fight
Yeah, I want you
Can't afford not to fight
Yeah, I want you
Can't afford not to fight
[Verse 5]
No, I can't afford
Can't afford not to fight
No, I can't afford
Can't afford not to fight
No, I can't afford
Can't afford not to fight
No, I can't afford
Can't afford not to fight
[Verse 6]
(I can't afford) I can be the darkness you're trying to fight
(Can't afford not to fight)
(No, I can't afford)
(Can't afford not to fight)
(No, I can't afford) And you can feel walls around every light
(Can't afford not to fight)
(No, I can't afford)
(Can't afford not to fight)
[Verse 7]
(I can't afford) But everything fall in time
(Can't afford not to fight)
(No, I can't afford)
(Can't afford not to fight)
(I can't afford) Every thing falls in time
(Can't afford not to fight)
(No, I can't afford)
(Can't afford not to fight)
[Verse 8]
I want you
Can't afford not to fight
And our, footsteps are falling in time
I want you
Can't afford not to fight
And our, footsteps are falling in time
I can't afford
Can't afford not to fight
And our, footsteps are falling in time
I can't afford
Can't afford not to fight
And our, footsteps are falling in time
