Lyrics
Meet me out by the fire escape It's been forty nights and forty days I've become uncertain in a cosmic way I chewed my fingers to the bone today Oh, won't you come around? Meet me by the fire escape Untie this tied tongue tie What is it that I want to say? What is it that I really want to say? What are the words I've been choking on Hoping someone will articulate? [Post-Chorus] Oh, no, that's some murky water Alright, we're in the trenches now I don't know when the party's over All I know is I'm getting out somehow Oh, what a fever dream Meet me out by the fire escape Join the procession down the alleyway, oh Our freedom's a joke and we've got debts to pay How many waves until the levee breaks? Oh, won't you come around? Meet me by the fire escape Untie this tied tongue tie What is it that we want to say? What is it that we really want to say? What are the dreams we've been choking on Hoping someone will articulate? [Post-Chorus] Oh, no, that's some murky water Alright, we're in the trenches now I don't know how the story ends But the pages just turn over then turn over again And redemption's always outta sight and just around the bend And the outcome doesn't match with what it is that I intend Like a stack of books grows and gathers dust beside the bed Or the disconnect between what people do and what they've said And I wanna read the news maybe without losing my head Oh, what a fever dream Meet me out by the fire escape It's been forty nights and forty days I've become uncertain in a cosmic way I chewed my fingers to the bone today
