Fire Escape

I was close to the end of my rope And I know that might be hard to believe Considering everything I've been feeling lately You should know the thought of falling in love Wasn't close to what I wanted at all But your eyes shined in that red light And I closed the door on my old life I wish we could spend the night underneath the moonlight And we could talk on the Fire Escape As we fight the sight of daybreak You're just so, you're just so far away You're just so, you're just so far away There were holes in the palms of my hands Burned from all the weight that I couldn't grasp But you came with first aid and I was starting to feel safe There were long drives with your hand inside mine And you know that I hate the thought of The separation of fingertips, but Sometimes we fall for someone where goodbyes come with the sun I wish we could spend the night underneath the moonlight And we could drift out to sea as we explore each other's bodies You're just so, you're just so far away You're just so, you're just so far away You're just so, you're just so far away You're just so, you're just so far away And I saw your eyes swell, and I thought to myself: What have we done? Are you falling in love? What have we done? But the morning will come And I saw your eyes swell, and I thought to myself: What have we done? Are you falling in love? What have we done? But the morning will come And I know this is all so new But I will go as slow as you need me to Because this love is not a race (What have we done?) I can show you the way You're just so, you're just so far away You're just so, you're just so far away You're just so, you're just so far away You're just so, you're just so far away So, as you spend the night with an empty bedside You will drift off to sleep, and I will wait for you to return to me
