Zoe Ko - Fire Escape lyrics
[Zoe Ko - Fire Escape lyrics]
I can’t speak to you like I once did
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 floor boards
Watch the ceiling caving inwards
Spin me for the last time
Likе it’s not really goodbye
When you go out thе back gate
And I go down the fire escape
Yea, when’s the last time you sat next to me
Cold furniture we picked up off the street
Yea we used to joke
How 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
I never ride the bus but it’s
The last place you’d been seen
There’s sirens screaming across the scene
And smoke that you can 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
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 floor boards
Watch the ceiling caving inwards
Spin me for the last time
Likе it’s not really goodbye
When you go out thе back gate
And I go down the fire escape
Yea, when’s the last time you sat next to me
Cold furniture we picked up off the street
Yea we used to joke
How 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
I never ride the bus but it’s
The last place you’d been seen
There’s sirens screaming across the scene
And smoke that you can 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
