Start A Fire Lyrics

I can hear half remembered lies
Allusions to our history that you can't hide any more
Are you dissatisfied with my second person songs
Wishing for a girl to strike a match and start a fire

Yeah, start a fire
Start a fire in my heart
Have mercy, baby
Start a fire
Start a fire
You're the one
And I used to be
the place for you to run

A sideways glance, a fantasy I cling to
I whisper to you while you sleep
The mirrired lens, the sun against your skin
And all the stupid stories that I spin
May lightening strike and start a fire

Start a fire
Start a fire in my heart
Will you wait for me to
Start a fire
Start a fire
You're the one
I will always be
the place for you to run

We crash on heaven's floor
A chain of generations in decay
As I hold this pose I try to concentrate
One thing at a time
Broken by the outburst of a kiss
Oh, perfection calls
So start a fire

Yeah, and let it go
A hidden world we never know
Where everything is new
I will wait for you to start a fire

Yeah, and make it grow
in ways you will never know
Well, baby, you're the one
I will always be the place for you to run
