[Verse] The smoke alarm cuts through the quiet night, Fluorescent halls flicker in the strobe light, I press the button on my door, step outside, You're standing there, with that careless smile so wide. [Pre-Chorus] Strangers in the stairwell, caught in the same wave, An impossible laugh that no one else gave. [Chorus] And you laugh like the world’s on fire, Like the chaos sets your heart higher, We share a moment, we share the sound, When the walls come down, we’re safe and found. Oh, you laugh like the world’s on fire, In this smoke and wire, I hear your laughter rise higher and higher. [Verse] The crowd moves slow, but you sway with ease, Broken sirens mix with the evening breeze, A spark in your eyes, it’s reckless and true, Odd how a drill brings me closer to you. [Pre-Chorus] Strangers in the stairwell, caught in the same wave, An impossible laugh that no one else gave. [Chorus] And you laugh like the world’s on fire, Like the chaos sets your heart higher, We share a moment, we share the sound, When the walls come down, we’re safe and found. Oh, you laugh like the world’s on fire, In this smoke and wire, I hear your laughter rise higher and higher. [Bridge] Under flickering lights, your voice is a prayer, A spark in the panic, a breath in the air, This laughter, this madness, it’s oddly sincere, In the middle of fire, you’re the calm I hear. [Chorus] And you laugh like the world’s on fire, Like the chaos sets your heart higher, We share a moment, we share the sound, When the walls come down, we’re safe and found. Oh, you laugh like the world’s on fire, In this smoke and wire, I hear your laughter rise higher and higher. [Outro] The drill fades out, but the sound stays on, Your laugh in my head like a burning song.
