Curtains you made let the sun rays shine right through
But you're never gonna fix a thing
They only shine on you, living our fairy tales we see on TV
And I'm singing all your lullabies from memory
'CAUSE I'M UNDER FIRE AND I'M BURNING DOWN SLOW
I'M WALKING ON A WIRE, WON'T YOU LET ME GO?
I've listened to the mothers and fathers and lovers too
Can't help but see the good in you slip right on through
All the while I've been fishing for a second chance
But we're never gonna make it out alive on romance
