Gasoline

(album: Retrograde - 2019)

I've never seen your face and I don't know where you came from
You said you didn't need a name and I didn't think the same, love
Now I don't feel the same as I used to
Watching sunsets like they mean something
I'm in a better state of mind when I listen to you speak
(Better state of mind when I listen to you speak)

You told me you'd quiet all the voices
That echo in my head

If you wanted to light a flame, why'd you drench me in gasoline?
If what you want is for me to change, how come you never put the match out?
Now we're both on fire
Now we're both on fire
And now I'm someone you couldn't save, since you drenched me in gasoline

You told me there was pain, but I didn't know what pain was
You said you wanted conversation
And now I'm thinking of all the ways that I'm trying to explain us
Shouldn't have to have a reason
'Cause I don't think the same as I did back then
I thought that we would stop riding this whirlwind
With a picture of a heart taped to my chest

If you wanted to light a flame, why'd you drench me in gasoline?
If what you want is for me to change, how come you never put the match out?
Now we're both on fire
Now we're both on fire
And now I'm someone you couldn't save, since you drenched me in gasoline

Paint this picture of us
Let these thoughts open up
Paint this picture of us
Let these hearts open up
Paint this picture of us
Let these thoughts open up
Paint this picture of us
Let these hearts open up

If you wanted to light a flame, why'd you drench me in gasoline?
If what you want is for me to change, how come you never put the match out?
Now we're both on fire
Now we're both on fire
If you wanted to light a flame, why'd you drench me in gasoline?

I've never seen your face and I don't know where you came from
(You drenched me in gasoline)
You said you didn't need a name and I didn't think the same, love
Now we're both on fire
Now we're both on fire
If you wanted to light a flame, why'd you drench me in gasoline?
