the fire//

she said take a number i’ll be with you when i can/
but this way don’t work at all/
if we’ve all got the same number/
on whom do you call/
i know you’ve got your things/
you have to get them done/
but where do i fall in this system/
cause you said i was the one//

she might be another/
or you might be the one/
and if the fire is smothered what will we become/
she might be another/
or you might be the one/
and if our love is smothered/
where can i find the spark/
to light up the dark and help me see again/
cause i need the fire//

left in baltimore but you’ve gone out to l.a./
and girl you know that i can’t fly/
might as well be all that distance/
if this is how we must survive/
i know you’ve got your things/
you have to get them done/
it’s like we’re walking on a wire/
about to take the plunge//

don’t let this flame burn out/
cause the storm clouds are coming/
and the rains falling down//
