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
