Verse 1

As we dance here in

this empty apartment

Echoes of laughter

will long live here after

Put your memories in boxes

And cut all your losses

Romance left

this place long ago

If these walls

could talk

They’d tell me

-C#/F- x2

it’s time to go

Refrain

You gave this place

so much color

I don’t know why I

did not see

that before

You gave life

to this place

Without you

it’s empty space

Verse 2

As we kiss knowing

that it’s our last one

Pull the sheets

from the mattress

Sleep hasn’t found us

Take the curtains

from the window

Let the world see

this last dance

And now what

is left for us

Turn all the

lights out

Lock the door

behind us

(Repeat Refrain)

Chorus

Someone else can

hang pictures

over holes in the walls

Duck and take cover from

the screams in the hall

Sing you to sleep when

you’re hurt from the fall

/ / x2

And somehow I will miss this all

Verse 3

Let's burn this place down

and scatter the ashes

Paint it with gasoline

and start throwing matches

Somewhere in this wreck

remains dying love

(Repeat Refrain)

(Repeat Chorus except last line)

And somehow I will miss this all

Outro

As we dance knowing

that it’s our last one

If these walls could talk

they’d tell us

it’s time to go
