"come back to the apartment (it's cold out here)


I guess I owe you
An explanation for
Never calling you back
to the trenches
But it was so bloody
It was a damn cold
N' bloody battle that night
on the first when
You turned your twenty-third
And I'm sorry, by the way
About your
Bride to be
But it might've been for the best
What with her treachery

So let's go
Inside now
Because the big bad A
Is falling this way
And I'd prefer to die by a fire
Than out here with your sad heart in my hand
In the cold
When I wouldn't even touch it with a ten foot pole
So, Darling...Baby...
Let's go

Look, I'm putting your heart away
In my knapsack here where we will keep it safe
(As pathetic and alone as it is)
We'll put it by the fire and let it warm
Just in time to make a splash when
A blast hits the door
And down we all fall
With our obliterated walls

But at least
We won't be
But at least
We won't be (here)
We won't be left to die
In the snow and ice outside
As we fight a battle that
Never really existed
Outside our heads
But Jesus Christ
We still get to die tonight
By a fire
...or
By fire

And down we all fall
With obliterated walls
I guess I owe you an explanation for
Never calling you back to our apartment
