She couldn't even focus
And I couldn't help but notice
The fire's lickin' at her dress
And we thought we could get away
I think we're living a circus
Tigers in chains making me nervous
Ringleader and his acrobats
Make the clowns so enraged
I'm on a date in the golden state
And the fires in the hills burn real late
Out for dessert on fountain avenue
And the news is nothing new
All we really wanna feel is love
But the world will always mess it up
What does it take to escape the hate
And take an off day
Fires burnin even closer
Up to her waist now I cry soldier
The battle's ragin' all around
So why are we still looking at the ground
Open the curtains is this worth it
I'm sittin' high up at this circus
Injured eagle only watches its prey
Freedom down below just scampers away
I'm on a date in the golden state
And the fires in the hills burn real late
Out for dessert on fountain avenue
And the news is nothing new
All we really wanna feel is love
But the world will always mess it up
What does it take to escape the hate
And take an off day
Fighting
Hating
Talking
Blaming
Listen
Eyes open
Take and off day
I'm on a date in the golden state
And the fires in the hills burn real late
Out for dessert on fountain avenue
And the news is nothing new
All we really wanna feel is love
But the world will always mess it up
What does it take to escape the hate
And take an off day
