Firefight

Like a rosebud, I could've been someone

She spoke so plainly, like it's all been said and done

I stirred my coffee and stared off into space

It's hard to know exactly what the right thing is to say

Time bleeds out

Gotta find a quick solution to get up off the ground

Dreams unbound

Will we ever stop believing we'll never make it out?

Oh, I

I can sing alright

Good at making light

But I never learnt to firefight

So this rosebud, why will it never show?

Who exactly told you that you'll never get to grow?

I look around us, you're right where you should be

But there's a rope around your neck that only you can see

Oh, I

I can sing alright

Good at making light

But I never learnt to firefight

Oh, I

If I hold on tight

Get it nearly right

Will I ever learn to sleep at night?

Everyone is moving on, I thought by now I might belong

Maybe feel a little wiser

I don't feel old enough to feel too young for giving up

Oh, I used to be a diver

Now I'm scared to be a few miles from the sun

Oh, I

Oh, I

Oh, I

I can sing alright

Good at making light

But I never learnt to firefight

Oh, I

If I hold on tight

Get it nearly right

Will I ever learn to firefight?
