Walk On By

(album: The American - 2019)

Have you ever seen something so spiritual you can't seem to continue the same routine
Have you ever seen something so glorious all your woes start to dissolve at your feet

Oh-oh-oh, it's how you blow, how you blow out the candle
Oh-oh-oh, it's how you blow, how you blow out the candle

Have you ever heard something so tragic you can't even take a breath without crying
Have you ever been caught up in panic, that you don't see the point in even trying

Oh-oh-oh, it's how you blow, how you blow out the candle
Oh-oh-oh, it's how you blow, how you blow out the candle

"Fire", I scream
We're on fire
But people they don't pay no mind
People they just walk on by

"Fire", I scream
All on fire
But people wanna bide their time
People they just walk on by
They walk on by

Guitar refrain
They walk on by
Guitar refrain

Can you tell me where you'll go when it all explodes and we're left in our ashes
Can you tell me, oh, what you livin for, what you spending your cash on

Oh-oh-oh, it's how you blow, how you blow out the candle
Oh-oh-oh, it's how you blow, how you blow out the candle

"Fire", I scream
We're on fire
But people they don't pay no mind
People they just walk on by

"Fire", I scream
All on fire
But people wanna bide their time
People they just walk on by
They walk on by

If every person could forget
In a matter of time there would be none of us left
But if every hour was well spent with intent
Then I bet we'd be out of ignition
And get back to the mission

"Fire", I scream
We're on fire
"Fire", I scream
All on fire
But people wanna bide their time
Tell me will you walk on by

"Fire", I scream
We're on fire
But people they don't pay no mind
People they just walk on by

"Fire", I scream
All on fire
But people wanna bide their time
People they just walk on by
They walk on by
