Smoke Alarm

(album: Us - 2022)

I could hardly catch my breath this morning
Got a little bit upset this morning
Woke up to a broken smoke alarm
If you were here I know you'd know what's wrong

Looked to your side of the bed this morning
Saw it play out in my head the whole thing
In the moment we'd be freaking out
But it'd be something we could laugh about

Damn we could always fix what was broken except for us

Now I'm at home right about to call you up
But my feelings are not to be trusted when I'm this lonely
I don't know who else I'm supposed to love
Is it only a moment of weakness I shouldn't believe

If it's just a broken smoke alarm why's it so hard to breathe

Thought I'm maybe get some sleep but instead
All the beeping wouldn't cease in my head
Why's it always when I think I'm fine
I end up dreaming about when you were mine

You're in my room it's crystal clear
Even though it's been over a year
Who would've thought that would be your last time here

Now I'm at home right about to call you up
But my feelings are not to be trusted when I'm this lonely
I don't know who else I'm supposed to love
Is it only a moment of weakness I shouldn't believe

If it's just a broken smoke alarm
If it's just a broken smoke alarm

Why's my throat always burning
Why's my heart still hurting
Take me back please don't let me go (Don't let me go)

Why can't I reach the ceiling
Why can't I stop this feeling
If I ask will you please come home

Now I'm at home right about to call you up
But my feelings are not to be trusted when I'm this lonely (When I'm this lonely)
I don't know who else I'm supposed to love
Is it only a moment of weakness I shouldn't believe

If it's just a broken smoke alarm why's it so hard to breathe
