Silent Fire Escape

Your phone on silent on the fire escape

We're hiding under a shared woolen blanket

I see the glow,

the green dot next to your name

A coworker still online at three

AM

You put the silver outfit on anyway (hummm)

Just a browser crush across the state lines

Watching your cursor trace the design (yeah)

And we dance through the blue light of the screen

The sweetest distance that we've ever seen

Late summer warmth on the fire escape We don't need to explain (ooh-ooh)

Typing 'are you there' then deleting the line

You wear that silver satin just to feel fine

While the city sleeps beneath the quiet exhaust

Counting up the miles and what it all cost

And we dance through the blue light of the screen

The sweetest distance that we've ever seen

Late summer warmth on the fire escape We don't need to explain (ooh-ooh)

Just a browser crush...

On the fire escape...
