Field On Fire Lyrics

Hannah & Maggie Field On Fire

[vocalizations]

You'd better not, but you can stay if you want
I am over moving under the weight of wondering what you've come for
So you can go, but only if you go home
My dear in my defense, I don't know stars from the eyes that count them!

The watchmen sitting on a sinking sailboat
Don't blame the rising tide.
I have always been here Benjamin,
Miles ahead and years behind

And you were mine, but really only sometimes
You would count your blessings closely
And try to figure out what you owed me
Anywhere, we were burned up, buried, and barely there
I have often wondered why you ever came back to a field on fire

The watchmen sitting on a sinking sailboat
Don't blame the dark of night.
I will tire someday Benjamin,
Waiting on a day that passed me by

[vocalizations]

I've been searching for sounds that feel like you,
Watching Holyoke hang from a hangnail moon
The prettiest things have nothing on you,
But you know me and nothing will do.
