The Fire

(album: Places - 2017)

I sat looking out at the stars through a screen
Every move they made spun a hurricane in me
I was shooting in the driveway, spinning then fade away
Gotta be like Mike, I'm gonna get there someday
Ooh, the horizon in my eyes
But when you're cut from the team
And all your dreams
Are further away and so it seems
Like the Earth shakes
And the world breaks

I saw the fire, I saw the fire I wasn't ready for it then
I saw the fire, I saw the fire I've got sparks inside my heart, brighter, bright
Oh they're lighting up the night I saw the fire I saw the fire

I sat looking through the screen when I got the news
(That the one that I loved would be the one that I lose)
I was half a world away, thinking that the world would wait
Change the plan, draw a map, I'm gonna get there someday
But it's hard to say goodbye
When the horizon's in your eyes
Suddenly all your dreams
Are further away and so it seems
Like the Earth shakes
And the world breaks

I saw the fire, I saw the fire I wasn't ready for it then
I saw the fire, I saw the fire I've got sparks inside my heart, brighter, bright
Oh they're lighting up the night I saw the fire I saw the fire

When you're looking back
All the years have passed
And the warmth still running through your veins
When you're looking back
All the years have passed
And the smoke still remains

Ooooh Oooh
I saw the fire I saw the fire
(Ah ah, Ah ah)
I saw the fire I saw the fire
(Ah ah, Ah ah)
I saw the fire I saw the fire
(Ah ah, Ah ah)
I saw the fire I saw the fire
(Ah ah, Ah ah)
I saw the fire I saw the fire
