(Verse 1 - He) We built a fire in the pouring rain, Swore the smoke was just a summer haze. Called every warning shot a falling star, Too proud to look at where we really are. (Verse 2 - She) The whispers started in the crowded room, While we were dancing on the edge of doom. They saw the cracks before the walls went up, Still, we kept drinking from a broken cup. (Chorus - Both) Oh, everyone saw the writing on the wall, Except the two of us who had to fall. We drove the car right off the canyon side, Too blind to see we were out of time. Just a slow-motion crash in the dead of night, We were wrong, but we swore we were right. (Verse 3 - He) I held your hand while the foundation shook, Ignored the ending in the final book. (Verse 4 - She) I traded logic for a desperate spark, Running together in the freezing dark. (Chorus - Both) Oh, everyone saw the writing on the wall, Except the two of us who had to fall. We drove the car right off the canyon side, Too blind to see we were out of time. Just a slow-motion crash in the dead of night, We were wrong, but we swore we were right. (Bridge - He) The whole town watched us burn down to the ground... (Bridge - She) ...And we were the only ones who didn't hear the sound. (Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break) (Chorus - Both) Yeah, everyone saw the writing on the wall, Except the two of us who had to fall. We drove the car right off the canyon side, Too blind to see we were out of time. (Outro - She) They all knew... (Outro - He) ...Yeah, they all knew. (Outro - Both) Except me and you.
