Fire Escape

I can watch, I can wait
Looking down from the fire escape
Eyes are locked, ships are lost
Tongues are tied and fingers crossed

I wanted more than you could give
I gave you more than you could take
Taking us back to the glory days

Give me everything, give me poetry
Look me in the eye when you're making love to me
Take me far away, back from where we came
To the day when we were standing on the fire escape
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

How's your heart? How's your day?
All the words we never say
All the spaces in between
What we say and what we mean

I wanted more than you could give
I gave you more than you could take
Taking us back to the glory days

Give me everything, give me poetry
Look me in the eye when you're making love to me
Take me far away, back from where we came
To the day when we were standing on the fire escape
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Baby, just say the word
I think we're gonna make it work
And we can forget all the hurt
Remember what we're worth
Baby, just say the word
I think we're gonna make it work
And we can forget all the hurt
And leave it in the dirt
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Baby, just say the word
I think we're gonna make it work
And we can forget all the hurt
Remember what we're worth
Baby, just say the word
I think we're gonna make it work
And we can forget all the hurt
And leave it in the dirt

Give me everything, give me poetry
Look me in the eye when you're making love to me
Take me far away, back from where we came
To the day when we were standing on the fire escape
