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

Just a false alarm
