Fire 2

作曲 : Grace Ives/John DeBold

Stopped my crying

Now I'm just settled outside of my brain

Voices trying

I feel them all slide through me like the touch of rain again and

Mmm, mmm

Well honey, it's a hellish sight

Mmm, mmm

If you saw me in the middle of the night and I was

Lighting fires for a little light in a blackout, baby, could you let it slide?

I lit a fire on the other side

I keep the door tight, baby, 'cause you're not invited and

I can't get higher than I ever was

I tried it one time, honey, but you never saw that and

Lit a fire for a little light

In a blackout, baby, kept you up all night

Stopped my lying

Now I'm just floating outside of my weight

My voice is tired

I heard it fall flat when I said, "Maybe I'll try again," and

I, well honey, yeah, I got that one wrong now, didn't I?

Mmm, mmm

When you saw me in the middle of night and I was

Lighting fires on the other side

I keep the door tight, baby, 'cause you're not invited and

I can't get higher than I ever was

I tried it two times, honey, but you never saw that and

Lit a fire for a little light in a blackout, baby, kept you up all night, and I

I can't keep hanging on to one and done

I tried it two times, honey, but it always comes undone

I sing in churches, and I drive myself home, and I

Say to myself, "Well, that's the way these things go"

I'm blue as a match, I'm unkempt, unattached, I'm the

Shadow of a girl who's just doing her best

I lay in my nest and I'm fat and half pretty

A hand to my chest and a view of the city

That hangs in my window, it's always the same, yeah, I

Grew up on pavement, know no other way

Lighting fires on the other side

I keep the door tight, baby, 'cause you're not invited, and

I can't get higher than I ever was

I tried it two times, honey, but you never saw that and

Lit a fire for a little light in a blackout, baby, kept you up all night, and I

I can't keep hanging on to one and done

I tried it two times, honey, but it always comes undone
