Fire Man

You left your boots by the door, Mud on the floorboards. I watched the clock lose time while you packed Your last small box. Your name's still on my screen like a bruise I keep pressing. I said, "Stay," through the glass. You said, "I already did." So tell me now, was it all smoke? Was it all talk? Was it all broke? My hands still shake when the house goes quiet. You got one foot out, I got both feet In it. Brick window, brick window. You keep throwing it back. Brick window, brick window. I keep coming right back. Say my name, say it slow, then you slam That door. Brick window, brick window. I want more. I want more. There's a crack in the sink and a dent In the hallway From the night you laughed too hard and I Held your hair back. Now the cup on the sill has one ring From your lipstick. I trace it with my thumb Like a map to nowhere. So tell me now, was it all smoke? Was it all talk? Was it all broke? My hands still shake when the house goes quiet. You got one foot out, I got both feet In it. Brick window, brick window. You keep throwing it back. Brick window, brick window. I keep coming right back. Say my name, say it slow, then you slam That door. Brick window, brick window. I want more. More, I want more. More, more, more. If you're gone, then go. Don't haunt the stairwell. Don't leave your key in the little blue bowl. But if you're out there with your jacket on, Turn around once. Let me see you look back. Brick window, brick window. You keep throwing it back. Brick window, brick window. I keep coming right back. Say my name, say it slow, then you slam That door. Brick window, brick window. I want more. More, more, More, more. Brick window, brick window. One more crack in the wall. Brick, brick, brick, brick, brick window, Brick window. 'Til there's nothing at all.
