lyrics

If I survive maybe I’ll learn – don’t play with fire and you won’t get burned,

Or maybe just stop building houses on sand.

I lost my mind on 1st Avenue. I was thinking of me and you,

looking bleakly at these empty hands.

You’re fresh air to these worn out lungs or new meaning to the words we’ve sung

That only now do we understand.

Cold breath in my bedroom. January’s coming on too soon.

Promise me we can still be friends.

I won’t be the reason you cancel anything to stay. (GODDAMN)

I won’t be the reason.

If I survive maybe I’ll learn that this could only be an overture,

And when the lights go down, baby, it’s time to dance.

I hope you find what you’re looking for in all the moments you’ll explore.

I’ll be missing you Miss Michigan.

I won’t be the reason you cancel anything to stay. (GODDAMN)

I won’t be the reason.

I lost my mind on 1st Avenue.

(I won’t be the reason)

I was thinking of me and you

(you cancel anything to stay.)

(GODDAMN)

I won’t be the reason.

Cold breath in my bedroom.

(I won’t be the reason)

January’s coming on too soon.

(you cancel anything to stay.)

(GODDAMN)

I won’t be the reason.
