Five thousand miles from now, what will I say? Five thousand miles from you, and so many beds away.
Fire away, fire away. Cause you know, you’re killing me, anyway.
It felt like the right thing to do. I thought getting rid of you would jumpstart my life somehow. But I’ve found it just the opposite.
And if my fear was a fur-ball, to dissect it would reveal Claws that you’d sunk into me, and the words I had trouble digesting.
Fire away, fire away. Cause you know, you’re killing me, anyway.
I call you on the phone again, and you say you wanna be my friend. I know I’m not very modern, but to me, that’s like apples and oranges.
Fire away, fire away. Cause you know, you’re killing me, anyway.
