Fire Escape Lyrics

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 of 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, the first day 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 others 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 time taught your eyes well and i thought to myself:
"what if we could fall in love, what if we could when morning will come?")
(and time taught your eyes well and i thought to myself:
"what if we could fall in love, what if we could when morning will come?")

and i know this is all so new, but i will go as long as you need me to
just as long it's not always, (what if we could?) i could 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...
