BUILD A FIRE
The sun is receding, but I still see an opportunity
For a better life, but a shroud is falling
If I had a heart at all I’d let you in
But I will keep you in the cold
The feeling will get old
Because our hearts burn loudest
When the twelve falls to the six
And we can build a fire
If we just pick up the sticks
Why did I wake up this night
Feeling so blue
Without a hand to hold on to
The winter’s whistling wind of sleet & rain
Freezing awake
This ice box is getting colder everyday
A chain reaction is set in motion
Because our hearts burn loudest
When the twelve falls to the six
And we can build a fire
If we just pick up the sticks
Well how about that, you want me back
You only want what you can’t have
I know that this loving you’re missing
Has gotten you wishing
That I make this decision
But it’s killing me and you
History is not the issue
It repeats itself
And we got everything we need right here
So we can share the wealth
Because our hearts burn loudest
When the twelve falls to the six
And we can build a fire
If we just pick up the sticks
Take your own advice
And don’t give up on me
Don’t stop now
