Empty Room/Kakakaboom
I can't decide to run and hide
To stay and light the fuse
So lay me down easily
Lay me down and let me be
And lay yourself right next to me
We'll wait and we'll smile and we'll bleed
We'll wait and we'll smile and we'll bleed
And hold me close to you
I don't know what else to do
If I survive the great divide
I'll wait and decide when we're two
Empty room/me and you
Now that's the catch
Someone already lit the match
That set our violent swoon a'turning
Oh that set our silent room a'burning
Oh that set the bomb of my heart on its edge for you
That set us off like that
So lay me down easily
Lay me down and let me be
And lay yourself right next to me
We'll wait and we'll smile and we'll bleed
