Evan Sternbach - Fire Escape Lyrics

Don't even remember how I got to this apartment
Too many shots of Irish whisky in the kitchen
Now I'm sat here in the light rain and the cold
Trying to sober up and get my life together again, I know
I've been reminiscing too much I'll admit
It's the first step in getting myself over this
But it hurts so good to be down so bad
Knowing the liquor comes to save me like it's Superman
Maybe the sky has the answers, I look up
Is the water coming down a sign that I'm f-
Get a quote tattooed on my skin in ink
Does that bring me closer to Heaven or closer to extinct
It's my very own fault, going down with my ship
Saw the storm on the horizon, now I'm swimming through it
Still a glimmer of hope in my mind that my SOS they will find
Now I'm sitting on a fire escape
Take me away
Show me a breath of fresh air I've been needing
Alive but I'm barely breathing on this fire escape
Take me away
Show me a good life full of peace and quiet please
How do I know when I'm going the right direction
'Cause three steps forward is bold, there's no protection
There's no detecting the perfect amount of imperfection
There's no one there to tell me to slow it down and start reflecting
This party is loud, it's calling me back
Know I need to turn it around and fasten my head
Further I drift, the better I am
But there's something deep inside of me that's craving the liquor and a lack of privacy
Want you touching me baby all night long
'Cause in the moment it feels like my kingdom come
But when I wake up
I'll get the full blunt force of what reality is made of
On this fire escape
Take me away
Show me a breath of fresh air I've been needing
Alive but I'm barely breathing on this fire escape
Take me away
Show me a good life full of peace and quiet please
