Spare Key

I was a young, hungry mess when I met you
Reckless, rotten kids have a problem
So they say, so they say
Watch the full moon fade into the morning
We listened, wolves were howling
From the fire escape, from the fire escape
It's a dead-end road that I'm facing
You're a building that went vacant
It's so cold, it's so cold
You change your mood with the wind
And it's storming up ahead
I don't know, I don't know
You, in your apartment
You, that's where it started
I thought I would never leave
Got your old jean jacket and a spare key
You, went to a darkness
You, now the spark's dead
All you ever left for me
Was your old jean jacket and a spare key
But, the cobwebs are keeping me from leaving
Know my fallens from realizing I've been dreaming
On my way, I'm on my way
The voice in my head's company I keep
If, if I need you won't have a spare key
Where I stay, where I stay
It's a dead-end road that I'm facing
You're a building that went vacant
It's so cold, It's so cold
You change your mood with the wind
And it's storming up ahead
I don't know, I don't know
You, in your apartment
You, that's where it started
I thought I would never leave
Got your old jean jacket and a spare key
You, went to a darkness
You, now the spark's dead
All you ever left for me
Was your old jean jacket and a spare key
It's a dead-end road that I'm facing
You're a building that went vacant
Spare-spare-spare-spare key-key-key-key
You, you're changing mood with the wind
And it's storming up ahead
Spare-spare-spare-spare key-key-key-key
You, in your apartment
You, that's where it started
I thought I would never leave
Got your old jean jacket and a spare key
You, went to a darkness
You, now the spark's dead
All you ever left for me
Was your old jean jacket and a spare key
You
