Gasoline

Those were the days awash in a coma
And you couldn't even go outside
Look for the shade
Out of discomfort
And slide into the downhill ride
Sometimes you can't forget how you are
Turn up the volume to hear the alarms

A year on the phone
A year with a bruise
And a wish to reach the other side
You came in to play like a reserve
But you're sittin' on the bench to hide
Sometimes you can't forget how you are
Turn up the volume to hear the alarms

Heaven and earth
A gift or a curse
They're not that far
I didn't deserve all I discerned about how you are
Now your ringing bells
And I'm dodging shells
I smell gasoline, it's alarming
I was taking cues from watching you
Now you're out of view
It's alarming
And you kind of lost me too

Sometimes you can't forget how you are
Turn up the volume to hear the alarms

Heaven and earth
A gift or a curse
They're not that far
I didn't deserve all I discerned about how you are
Now your ringing bells
And I'm dodging shells
I smell gasoline, it's alarming
I was taking cues from watching you
Now you're out of view
It's alarming
And you kind of lost me too
