Fire And Iron

Sunday morning and the lawns all mown

We walked through the Japanese gardens home

You tried to impress me by rolling a smoke

But your hands were shaking and the paper broke

I played cool and I took a drag

Coughed like the kid on the Panadol ad

You just smiled and kicked the dirt

Said "We're not as cool as we thought we were"

On the night that we first kissed

I climbed out the window so I wouldn't be missed

Getting too big for the swings in the park

Passing the lighter in the dark

As the sun came up we had to leave

You said my name I could feel you breathe

I walked home in the freezing cold

Heartbeat thumping in my coat

Fire and iron

Iron and fire

Tears in the water

Water in the wine

That awkward winter turned to spring

We learned a million grown up things

Sharing cigarettes under the stars

We laughed and drank and raced your car

Then one morning right on dawn

You the lost the wheel, you missed the turn

The whole world rolled on top of us

You said my name

But I never woke up again

Let it go, let it go

Where's the guy I used to know?

The girl I was like years ago

Now she's a ghost

Let me go

Fire and iron

Iron and fire

I'm living your life

And you're living mine

Sunday morning and the lawns all mown

You walk through the Japanese gardens home

You look so funny with your kids in tow

You gave up smoking years ago
