Fire Escape

I see you bite your bottom lip

Can you feel my kisses on your hands?

You're almost here, you catch your breath,

A ghost is whisperin' in your head:

''No, you're not home''

I'm on a fire escape

Where you said to wait

And I did, yes I did

Oh, I heard the cold winds say:

"You're a fool to stay"

But I did, yes I did

No, you're not my home

No matter how my heart tries,

I'm not too blind to realize

When I'm free from the grip of this life,

You won't be there by my side

''No, you're not home''

I'm on a fire escape

Where you said to wait

And I did, yes I did

No, I heard the cold winds say:

"You're a fool to stay"

But I did, yes I did

Oh, you're not my home

Oh, you're not my home

You're not my home

I'm on a fire escape

Where you said to wait

And I did, yes I did

No, I heard the cold winds say:

"You're a fool to stay"

But I did, yes I did

Oh, you're not my home

And every word I wanted to say

Got replaced with the wedding ring
