Lyrics

I've been looking to start a fire
But I couldn't catch a spark
And so you gave me your matchstick
And asked if I was an arsonist
And I said, "No, I'm but a man
Without a fire in my belly
So can you lend me a hand?
'Cause I've been struggling lately"
You said, "I know where you're coming from
It's getting harder to carry on"
What if there's a fire, but it's already starved?
What if there's no heat to light up the dark?
'Cause what if the home that we called our own
Was burned out long ago?
And winter's setting in
I'll try my best to keep you warm
And so I hand you my jacket
To give you shelter from the storm
You said, "The rain cannot catch us now
'Cause all the embers have long gone out"
What if there's a fire, but it's already starved?
What if there's no heat to light up the dark?
'Cause what if the home that we called our own
Was burned out long ago?
Fanning the flames before they go
Looking for just a little glow
You wear the words, I'll wear the pain
You bear the weight, I'll bear the blame
Fanning the flames before they go
Looking for just a little glow
What if there's a fire, but it's already starved?
What if there's no heat to light up the dark?
'Cause what if the home that we called our own
What if the home that we called our own
What if there's a fire, but it's already starved?
What if there's no heat to light up the dark?
'Cause what if the home that we called our own
What if the home that we called our own
Was burned out long ago?
