Tiny Fires

An hour in real time passes like the second on a broken clock
I stay in bed all day, I just realised this will be the third on the trot
I set the foundation for a life I don't know how to build
And I take a step backwards and I fall down the same old hills

And I hope that you'll return to me
It's mighty lonely on my own in the city
And I hope I'll find some better company
Where they are willing to be caring for my pity

And I do not want to wake up to the shame
But I'm far too tired for these games
We will bury this with all our memories
Right beside the last love that took it all away

And oh, and as sweet as you were
You turned out to be fools, gold in the dark dirt
And you raced, through the house
Whirlwind tearing everything to the cold ground

And your words, through the phone
Force the skin off right of my white bones
And I lay, surrounded by these thoughts

And our tiny fires, I swear they'll burn someday
And I want them wild and in some place it never rains
'Cus we belong, deep inside the blaze
Just like we did back in our early days

I move in straight lines and I follow cats eyes beside the road
I know directions but where they take me we'll never know
Please fire a flare so I know that you're out there
Safe and sound, with a beacon over your head

And I hope that you are missing me
I feel it too and alone in the country
I miss the sirens and song repeats
Late nights that I wish I could remember

I'd do anything I can to make you stay
But your mind has made you leave anyway
And sure hope your trains delayed
'Cus there's so much more I need to say and

And oh, and as sweet as you were
You turned out to be fools, gold in the dark dirt
And you raced, through the house
Whirlwind tearing everything to the cold ground

And your words, through the phone
Force the skin off right of my white bones
And I lay, surrounded by these thoughts

And our tiny fires, I swear they'll burn someday
And I want them wild and in some place it never rains
'Cus we belong, deep inside the blaze
Just like we did back in our early days

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

And our tiny fires, I swear they'll burn someday
And I want them wild and in some place it never rains
'Cus we belong, deep inside the blaze
Just like we did back in our early days
