Fire - Joesef

Remember your last birthday?

Three months before June

I bought two cards 'cause I

Just couldn’t choose

I wrote, «Love you, forever»

Like I always do

But now I’m in the kitchen

They’re all that’s left of you

And I had to burn my house down just to forget the way

We used to lie, drunk on the floor, just drinking all day

Now I can’t bear the burden of what I’m still to find

This place ain’t big enough for me and what’s left behind

So I try, I try to cast you straight into the fire

Breathe the smoke of what is left behind

I try to cast you straight into the fire

Caught in an endless Sunday

My pride’s split in two

Paint over words you wrote me

With wet baby blue

But I can still feel the tether

Pulling me to you

Wherever I go, you’re never

Too far from my view

That’s why I had to burn my house down just to forget the way

You’d stare at me and say that you could watch me all day

Now I can’t bear the burden of what I’m still to find

This place ain’t big enough for me and what’s left behind

So I try, I try to cast you straight into the fire

I breathe the smoke of what is left behind

I try to cast you straight into the fire

But ever since I moved house

I dream every night

They’re vivid and full of color

They always burn bright

The images never leave me

And put up a fight

'Cause there wasn’t a fire hot enough

To burn you out of my mind

So I try, I try to cast you straight into the fire

I breathe the smoke of what is left behind

I try to cast you straight into the fire

The fire, the fire, the fire

So I try, I try to cast you straight into the fire

I breathe the smoke of what is left behind

I try to cast you straight into the fire

The fire, the fire, the fire
