False Alarm

She called me last night
She was parked outside
I walked out into the street
There in the passenger seat
Thought I was safe from harm
It was a false alarm

A quiet hand over mine
A fate already resigned
A sudden losing streak
A beautiful defeat
Right from the very start
It was a false alarm

I 'm waiting for the day
When your memory's faded away
I'll see you out in the street
And we'll smile
To when I'm half asleep
Caught up the back of the beat

A hard and hollow space
Of a love that can't be replaced
I thought it lasted forever
I was so wrong
She was a stranger on my arm
It was a false alarm
