Fire Escape

I can't speak to you like I once do The words go through your ears from out my lips Four years of sweeping under the carpet A waste of our New York apartment We're buried to our neck in our messes With broken parts that went unnoticed But, before we call it, let's take a moment Oh, 'cause We changed one another Done enough good for each other Cracks running through the floorboards Watch the ceiling caving inwards Spin me for the last time Like it's not really goodbye When you go out the back gate And I go down the fire escape Yeah, when's the last time you sat next to me? Cold furniture we picked up off the street Yeah, we used to joke Oh, If we ended up burning We'd leave the stove on, on purpose So, no one else could know the things we felt Left the window cracked, and now it's open But, before we call it, let's take a moment Oh, 'cause We changed one another Done enough good for each other Cracks running through the floor boards Watch the ceiling caving inwards Spin me for the last time Like it's not really goodbye When you go out the back gate And, I go down the fire escape And through the park, and up towards 18th tank I never ride the bus, but it's the last place you'd been seen this Sirens screaming across the scene And the smoke they can't taste, a couple miles away 'Cause it'll be that bittersweet 'Cause we changed one another Done enough good for each other Cracks running through the floor boards Watch the ceiling caving inwards Spin me for the last time Like it's not really goodbye When you go out the back gate And I go down the fire escape
