Black Lab Start A Fire
I can hear half-remembered lies
allusions to our history
you can’t hide anymore
are you dissatisfied
with my second person songs
wishing for a girl to strike a match
and start a fire
start a fire
start a fire
start a fire in my heart
have mercy baby
start a fire
start a fire
start a fire
you’re the one
and I used to be the place for you to run.
a sideways glance a fantasy I cling to.
I whisper to you while you sleep.
the mirrored lens the sun against your skin
and all the stupid stories that I spin.
may lightening strike and ...
start a fire
start a fire
start a fire in my heart
will you wait for me to
start a fire
start a fire
start a fire
you’re the one
I will always be the place for you to run.
we crash on heaven’s floor
a chain of generations in decay
as I hold this pose I try to concentrate
one thing at a time
broken by the outburst of a kiss
oh, perfection calls so
start a fire
yeah and let it go
a hidden world we never know where everything is new
I will wait for you to
start a fire
and make it grow in ways you will never know
well baby you’re the one
I will always be the place for you to run
start a fire
start a fire
I will always be the place for you to run
