Strike Up The Flame

Before tonight I never knew
How much I really care for you
You lit this flame deep down inside
And now I can’t put out the fire
Strike up the flame - I’m in love again
Strike up the flame - I feel it burning within
Light it again and watch the flames get higher
You’re bound to get burned when you’re playing with fire
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Burn out bright my forbidden crush
And now we’re trapped in a smoke filled room
But if I burn down, you’re burning too
Strike up the flame - I’m in love again
Strike up the flame - I feel it burning within
Light it again and watch the flames get higher
You’re bound to get burned when you’re playing with fire
Strike up the flame and burn it to the ground
I’m too far gone for you to save me now
Ignite it again and watch the flames get higher
You’re bound to get burned when you’re playing with fire
Settle the flame then light it again
You cloud my head with smoke but I can’t help but breathe you in
As bright as the sun your love does shine
But I’ve been burned too many times
Strike up the flame - I’m in love again
Strike up the flame - I feel it burning within
Light it again and watch the flames get higher
You’re bound to get burned when you’re playing with fire
Strike up the flame and burn it to the ground
I’m too far gone for you to save me now
Ignite it again and watch the flames get higher
You’re bound to get burned when you’re playing with fire

Selfish

You’ve always had a way with words
The things you say, you twist my nerves
But I keep coming back, I never learn
You changed the color on my ring
But that doesn’t change a thing
This could all be over if I blink
And now I don’t know what to do, I’m too afraid of losing you
What did I get myself into; it’s hard to pull away
I get excited when you pull me close
And when I can hear your heart beat nice and slow
I can speed it up, you can’t slow me down
I can’t break your heart cause you can break my frown
You know I can’t forget that night
It was so wrong but felt so right
I couldn’t stop you I was paralyzed
You make my heart beat inside out
You’re like water in a drought
I’m hypnotized, don’t pull me out
The shallow waters where I wade drown me in my misery
Deeper now I find your bait; I’m eager for a taste
I get excited when you pull me close
And when I can hear your heart beat nice and slow
I can speed it up, you can’t slow me down
I can’t break your heart cause you can break my frown
You’re a breath of fresh air, but I shouldn’t compare
How could I be so selfish?
You’ll tease me with ease and I’ll face my defeat
How could I be so selfish?
I get excited when you pull me close
And when I can hear your heartbeat nice and slow
I can speed it up, you can’t slow me down
I can’t break your heart cause you can break my frown
You lay a finger on me I can’t breathe
It’s hard for me to tame my curiosity
I breathe it in, it’s so new to me
But I can breathe you out just as easily
How could I be so selfish?

Smoke Signal
03:08
|

|
Regardless of my beating heart
And never knowing where to start
And laughing till my stomach cracks
You make up for everything I seem to lack
Silence is the sweetest sound
Free fall till you hit the ground
Take off running down the street
Warning everyone you meet
And if I find you before you find yourself
I’ll call or write to you
And if all else fails
A smoke signal will do
“I’m a mess”, you always say
“You can’t fix me, there’s no way”
I’ll try my best, I’ll promise you
If you’re broken I’ll be your glue
Everybody's warning me to
Read between the lines
But now the smoke's surrounding me
And I can't see the signs
And if I find you before you find yourself
I’ll call or write to you
And if all else fails
A smoke signal will do
And if I find you before the fire goes out
I’ll be a light for you
And if all else fails
A smoke signal will do
And if I find you before you find yourself
I’ll call or write to you
And if all else fails
A smoke signal will do

As Good As I Was

Staring at the ceiling, my best attempt at healing
I didn’t know it was possible to feel pain and be numb at the same time
You were the man of my dreams, but you turned into a nightmare
And now I’m losing sleep and it’s not fair
This hurts worse than a slap in the face
To leave me with these memories I can’t erase
It was the worst that I could do
To be as good as I was, I was to you
I keep on digging for treasure, among the ashes
And now I gotta fill up the holes, all alone
Because your love blew away with the wind
And this hurts worse than a slap in the face
To leave me with these memories I can’t erase
It was the worst that I could do
To be as good as I was, I was to you
And this hurts worse than a blow to the head
I guess you didn’t mean a word you said
It was the worst that I could do
To be as good as I was, I was to you
Let’s go back to the scene of the crime
When I caught you talking to her about a dozen times
And you tried to reassure me but I’m not blind
It’s not the end of the world if I can’t call you mine
There’s better things ahead than what I’ll leave behind
This hurts worse than a slap in the face
To leave me with these memories I can’t erase
It was the worst that I could do
To be as good as I was, I was to you
And this hurts worse than a blow to the head
I guess you didn’t mean a word you said
It was the worst that I could do
To be as good as I was, I was to you
Oh, as good as I was - too good for you
To be as good as I was - too good for you
