lyrics

it comes and goes with the sun in the sky
and my threadbare clothes and the longest of lies
and the simplest of things they are never enough
but I get so close sometimes

it sparks and ignites and flares off in the gloom
and these furious lights are so vital and doomed
I would bottle them up if only I could but

when I'm here I flail about aimlessly
stub my toes and trip over my own feet
tangling wires and stumbling clumsily
I would stay here forever if I could

and be happy

every time we embrace one another
the fire inside flings us into the ether
whatever the distance I'd never have met you
but I get so close sometimes

strung on a high wire heart lost and then found
growing fierce with desire at the sight and the sound
I would bottle it up if only I could but

when I'm here I flail about aimlessly
stub my toes and trip over my own feet
tangling wires and stumbling clumsily
I would stay here forever if I could

and be happy
