Paroles de Fire Truck
A fire truck goes screaming byAnd it reminds me of that night
When you said that you were coming home,
Then I waited up till four in the morning.
She says, "I remember, and why the fuck
Would this be a good time to bring that up?"
And I am silent, because I'm not sure.
Sometimes I feel like I should never speak again.
She takes my hand and says, "C'mon you know this one's my favourite song."
And I can see it in my mind,
Those flames reaching so high
Into the night, and that poor family
Standing on the front lawn watching.
And for some reason, I remember that feeling
Being almost jealousy
For a new beginning, but I should have known
That I was already burning it to the ground.
Now that I'm dancing in the ashes, I just want it to be whole.
And somehow with all that distraction,
I still managed to pick a fight.
When she got home, and all she had were questions
About those flashing red lights.
Now that I'm standing in the ashes, I just want it to be whole.
Now that I'm standing in the ashes, I can't help but sing along.
Sometimes I feel like I should never speak again.
She takes my hand and says, "C'mon you know this one's my favourite song."
And I can see it in my mind,
Those flames reaching so high
Into the night, and that poor family
Standing on the front lawn watching.
And for some reason, I remember that feeling
Being almost jealousy
For a new beginning, but I should have known
That I was already burning it to the ground.
Now that I'm dancing in the ashes, I just want it to be whole.
And somehow with all that distraction,
I still managed to pick a fight.
When she got home, and all she had were questions
About those flashing red lights.
Now that I'm standing in the ashes, I just want it to be whole.
Now that I'm standing in the ashes, I can't help but sing along.
