Fire Swing (feat. Jessie Payo)

Broke down on the Interstate

Just outside of Balmorhea

Sometimes it’s best to run from things

An overdose in early spring

Eyes adjust to the dark they see

Born beneath a burning tree

The light shades our face from the shadow’s reach

Swinging through the fire on a tire swing

We made it Los Angeles

A pickup truck of Texas dust

Those streets out there are made to dream

While the helicopters watch you sleep

Eyes adjust to the dark they see

Born beneath a burning tree

The light shades our face from the shadow’s reach

Swinging through the fire on a tire swing

Some losers never learn to quit

Each failure striking steel on flint

And success is just a silhouette

When the fire melts what held you back

Eyes adjust to the dark they see

Born beneath a burning tree

The light shades our face from the shadow’s reach

Swinging through the fire on a tire swing

The light shades our face from the shadow’s reach

Swinging through the fire on a tire swing
