Anna Tivel - Anthony Lyrics

The building was burning, the plaster was crumbling
I lost my sense and I ran back inside
The groan of the floorboards, and heat spreading under them
Billowing smoke, in my throat and my eyes

The kitchen ablaze and the wallpaper curling
The table where you and I figured it out
At two in the morning, alive and uncertain
Just talking in circles, dreaming aloud

Anthony I'm afraid, alone in the building, the billowing flame
And I lost my mind I guess
I thought i knew what forever meant

A crash in the hallway, the photographs falling
The shattering glass, like rain coming down
The one of you standing, your hands in your pockets
The look on your face, obscured by the sun

Anthony I'm afraid, alone in the building, the billowing flame
And I lost my mind I guess
I thought I knew what forever meant

The heat and the hunger, the smoke in the sky
The feeling of losing, and something on fire

And up in the bedroom, the curtains all blackened
The bed where I loved you beginning to burn
I opened the window where I used to call you
Below in the garden you're already gone

Anthony I'm afraid, alone in the building, the billowing flame
And I lost my mind I guess
I thought I knew what forever meant
I thought I knew what forever meant
