the head and the heart - fire escape lyrics

i woke up in the alley by the ashtray
in the pink glow of the neon exit sign
when i looked up to see you leaning over me with eyes wide
i must’ve just been sifting through the twilight
for that feeling i could never seem to find
when you came out to find me here exactly at the right time
i didn’t know it then, but it was destiny in hindsight

we went out for a smoke on the fire escape
so sure of ourselves in those early days
i thought i had my head on straight
but i’m not so sure of that now

how many years stretch out like rubber bands behind us?
now you’re standing in the doorway like a ghost
there’s still time enough to talk of all the memories we piled high
it’s so d+mn good to see you, ain’t it strange the way the time flies?

we went out for a smoke on the fire escape
with that feeling you get when the night’s getting late
i swear i had my head on straight
but i’m not so sure of that now

we settled in for the long dark night
and faded like the stars and stripes
we watched it all go up in flames
that morning on the fire escape
and i can’t find the words i’ve been wanting to say
but my friend, rest assured it’ll all be okay
i’ve finally got my head on straight
let it all drift away
and let’s climb to the top of the fire escape
all this time that we spent wasn’t all just a waste
i swear i had my head on straight
but i’m not so sure of that now
