Start A Fire

I can hear half-remembered lies

Allusions to our history

You can’t hide anymore

Are you dissatisfied

With my second person songs

Wishing for a girl to strike a match

And start a fire

Start a fire

Start a fire

Start a fire in my heart

Have mercy baby

Start a fire

Start a fire

Start a fire

You’re the one

And I used to be the place for you to run.

A sideways glance a fantasy I cling to.

I whisper to you while you sleep.

The mirrored lens the sun against your skin

And all the stupid stories that I spin.

May lightening strike and...

Start a fire

Start a fire

Start a fire in my heart

Will you wait for me to

Start a fire

Start a fire

Start a fire

You’re the one

I will always be the place for you to run.

We crash on heaven’s floor

A chain of generations in decay

As I hold this pose I try to concentrate

One thing at a time

Broken by the outburst of a kiss

Oh, perfection calls so

Start a fire

Yeah and let it go

A hidden world we never know where everything is new

I will wait for you to

Start a fire

And make it grow in ways you will never know

Well baby you’re the one

I will always be the place for you to run

Start a fire

Start a fire

I will always be the place for you to run
