Spark Fires

(album: While You Were Sleeping - 2010)

Who knows how much is left
And I always want what I can't get
But it calms my nerves, and it helps me learn
That I can stand beside my friends
And laugh until the very end
Spark fires with lighters and blaze where no one finds us
Keep myself sane for one more day

And maybe when I'm older
I'll give up shrug my shoulders
And watch myself become like the rest
But youth is still my best bet
Nostalgic 'til my last breath
If that's something that you can't understand

Call me crazy but we've conquered our fears
And we reject the self obsession that we see in our peers
So when the curtain falls and all of you
Are left with your tears
We'll still be standing recommending that you
Look in the mirror

At something other than yourself
I hope you're happy with your wealth

'Cause I'm walking through your front door
I said I'm walking through your front door
Just like I did when we were so young
I'm practically begging you, "Come back home."

Call me crazy but we've conquered our fears
And we reject the self obsession that we see in our peers
So when the curtain falls and all of you
Are left with your tears
We'll still be standing recommending that you
Look in the mirror
