Ashes

I'm halfway down that street

There's a burned-out house next door to mine

But I didn't do it

It's okay, I get that question all the time

I feel under suspicion

From the people in the cars rolling slowly by

But I'm just here sitting

Smoking cigarettes and killing time

I always pretend not to care

But they can see right through me

I'll be the first to break the stare

Ashes on the cement stairs

I sit in a room

With those I've barely known for the longest time

But no one is talking

Yet everybody seems to be doing fine

I feel under suspicion

From the people in the house next door to mine

But I'm just here sitting

Smoking cigarettes and killing time

I always pretend not to care

But they can see right through me

I'll be the first to break the stare

Ashes on the cement stairs

And I bet you're always right

You don't gotta tell me twice

I'll be the first to turn to ashes

And I know you're always right

You don't gotta tell me twice

I'll be the first to turn to ashes

Ashes, ashes

I'll fall down
