Fire / Fear

(album: Let's Be Still - 2013)

It's a long way to the other room
While I'm grading papers and tying shoes
You never had much to lose
So I'm blaming you for these hopeless blues

What's to say when the kids are gone
I've made up the beds and been left alone
You look at me, as cold as a stone
There's no way to right what's been done wrong

And you left me a fool
So what to do

Hold me down if I'm running off
They say, “it gets better baby, soon enough”
So I shut my mouth and I steel my heart
But I still feel like a girl thinking of when we started

I want to feel the fire again
With you or anybody else
I want to feel the fear again
With you or anybody else

So what to do
What to do?
Oh, what to do?
