Fire Department Lyrics
It was cold last year when you blocked me out
Our ships went down on that night
These hearts were drowning but you bought me out
Safety pin oh a safety pin
Stuck and sewn up like a mannequin
A mannequin, mannequin, mannequin
You can call the god damn fire department
That's the last time I'll ever let you in
You can call the god damn fire department
That's the last time I'll ever let you in
You see me drowning but you block me out
Our ships were sunk on that night
These hearts were drowning but you bought me out
Safety pin oh a safety pin
Stuck and sewn up like a mannequin
A mannequin, mannequin, mannequin
Just don't, just don't even use you lungs
Cause that's the last time I'll ever let you in
Just don't, just don't even use you damn lungs
Cause that's the last time I'll ever let you in
You take the water from my lungs to fill your cup
This is no longer fair
This is no longer fair
This is no longer fair
This is no longer fair!
Safety pin oh a safety pin
Stuck and sewn up like a mannequin
A mannequin, mannequin, mannequin
You can call the god damn fire department
That's the last time I'll ever let you in
You can call the god damn fire department
That's the last time I'll ever let you in
Safety pin oh a safety pin
Stuck and sewn up like a mannequin
A mannequin, mannequin, mannequin
Just don't, just don't even use you lungs
Cause that's that last time I'll ever let you in
Just don't, just don't even use you damn lungs
Cause that's that last time I'll ever let you in
I think this song is simply about someone hurting you and messing you around - not sure. It's very good though - why are there no comments??
Yeah, why the hell aren't there any comments? I love this song. Only BYOP could get away with a song sounding like this.
Yeah this is a really catchy song. BYOP are way underated.
I think this song is about a relationship in which the singer is giving more than getting ("this is no longer fair") and is fed up with it ("that's the last time I'll ever let you in"). The person is changing and compromising themself ("stuck and sewn up like a mannequin") to get the other person to stay with them, even if the relationship is screwing them up.
but goddamn is it catchy and wonderful.
This sounds to be about a one-way relationship, where he takes her for granted to always give what he needs, and she's just about had enough.
I love this song :]
