are you listening? can you hear me? can you hear, can you see what's going on around us? Do you hear the sirens that are going off in every direction? Everyone is leaving, Everyone except you. For you, the sirens fall on deaf ears and you stay, right where you are watching the disaster unfold, in awe The embers begin to flick and flare out travelling down this stretch of road and here you are, without a care Blissfully unaware, the fire is already taking hold in this town. can you hear me? are you listening now? You feel a tug of the arm, Signaling it's time to go. your reluctance is telling But you know you can't stay. You know that you have to go. Memories last forever. But for you, You know the hardest part Is starting over.

are you listening? can you hear me? can you hear, can you see what's going on around us? Do you hear the sirens that are going off in every direction? Everyone is leaving, Everyone except you. For you, the sirens fall on deaf ears and you stay, right where you are watching the disaster unfold, in awe The embers begin to flick and flare out travelling down this stretch of road and here you are, without a care Blissfully unaware, the fire is already taking hold in this town. can you hear me? are you listening now? You feel a tug of the arm, Signaling it's time to go. your reluctance is telling But you know you can't stay. You know that you have to go. Memories last forever. But for you, You know the hardest part Is starting over.
