I've conjured up a plan, as a sentimental man, to destroy our things in style. |
| [00:20.81] |
It involves our belongings in a pile, some lighter fluid and a smile, and some matches with "Chicago" inscribed on every stick. |
| [00:39.80] |
Strangers could see the flames for miles -- from any highway or any hilltop -- and we'd pass out as the smoke billows and spills into our young lungs. |
| [01:06.92] |
With what strength that we'd have left we'd save each others final breaths for a distressed phone call to 9-1-1 and in minutes they'd arrive, horrified at what they might find. |
| [01:34.19] |
It'd be you and I (and a pile of ashes) hand in hand and in each others arms... |
| [01:49.56] |
But it's not that bad. |
| [02:01.22] |
They revived me on the scene (and took my temperature and pulse) and while the handsome paramedic gave you mouth-to-mouth, I bit my tongue in hopes they could save your life. |
| [02:27.53] |
Just you and I (and a pile of ashes) hand in hand and in each others arms. |
| [02:41.16] |
In a week when we look back, we'll be bandaged up, but laugh it off. |
| [02:49.30] |
Your skin might be thicker and my stuff, it might be gone, but we'll have crammed everything we need in this song. |
| [02:59.31] |
We'll have everything we'd need inside this song. |
| [03:05.64] |
Just you and I (and a pile of ashes) hand in hand and in each others arms. |
| [03:18.30] |
