From your house, last night

As the lights flickered and they failed

I had it all figured out

Why do I do this to myself every time

I know the way it ends

Before it's even begun

I am the only one

At the finish line

I took a trip out to the frozen lake

And it felt so far away

But I could feel it washing over me

There's no escaping, the harsh light of day

Why do I do this to myself every time

I know the way it ends

Before it's even begun

I am the only one

At the finish line

Sit out on that beach in Chicago

Woke up next to you on Silver Lake Avenue

Wherever I went

I always knew, always knew

Till I didn't know

Why do I do this to myself every time

I know the way it ends

Before it's even begun

I am the only one

At the finish line

I could've sworn, I saw fireworks

From your house, last night
