A Fire Only We Know

(album: Smoke - 2014)

Only we know the quiet roads and the vacant malls
Or the cool of perfect darkness just outside the sprawl
Only we heard the drums pumping in the stadium

And built our truths like fires
In the promised land where we come from

And when you look now in my eyes
Do you see the boy that swore on every inch of you
Our light would never die
Is a bravery inside me
Still clinging to my clothes
Like smoke from a fire only we know

Only we know how good your daddy's records sound
Or just how far a fall it is from the window to the ground
Only we smell the rain just before it comes

And think first of each other
Every time we're burned by love

When I look now in your eyes
I still see the thing that made us lions
The thing that made us free
And the bravery inside you
Still clinging to your clothes
Like smoke from a fire only we know

Like smoke, like smoke, like smoke
Like smoke, like smoke, like smoke from a fire only we know

And think first of each other
Every time we're burned by love

And when you look now in my eyes
Do you see the boy that swore on every inch of you
Our light would never die
Is a bravery inside me
Still clinging to my bones
Like smoke from a fire only we know
Like smoke from a fire only we know
Like smoke from a fire only we know
