Fire

I still remember all those early moves

All the raw, raw fire

And the timid proof

Of the things we did and we always knew of love

Later I spent all those distant nights

Driving back and forth

Watching your apartment light

Burning on and on and on

Felt emptiness for real

For the first time

Wait

I'd wait

For the scars to heal

But they never went away

But I'd still

Give it all away

I'd still give it all away

If I ever get close enough

I'd still give it all away

I'd still give it all away

If I ever get close enough

To you

I begged you to stay

Even though you came home early in the morning

Yeah, you showered and you coward in the hallway

And I knew that things would never be the same again

Between us

Yeah, I was always trying just to change you

Reshape and arrange you

Into something neither of us recognize

Somewhere I was trying to rewrite you

In the lines of a bullshit image

With nothing in it

But wait

I'll wait

The scars to heal

But they never went away

But I'd still

Give it all away

I'd still give it all away

If I ever get close enough

I'd still give it all away

I'd still give it all away

If I ever get close enough

To you

Oh no

No matter how I reach for you

Will I reach you now, dear?

Or will it ever be the same?

Will it ever be the same?

But I'd still

Give it all away

I'd still give it all away

If I ever get close enough

I'd still give it all away

I'd still give it all away

If I ever get close enough

To you

Oh no

No matter how I reach for you

No matter how I reach for you
