Before the Fire Burns Out

She takes her dress off
Lets it fall right to the floor
Not for handstands
We're not the kids we were before
We were before now, oh no

This small town, now
Can you take me far from here?
I've been waiting so long
'Cause if I stay I'll disappear
I'll disappear now, oh no way
Ill disappear now every day, yeah

Before this fire burns out
Before I burn this town
Before my time runs out
Tell me now just to be something (something, oh)

The city's closer
Almost that I feel its skin
Don't you stop now
Won't you please just let me in?
Just let me in now, oh no
Just let me in, oh no

Before this fire burns out
Before I burn this town
Before my time runs out
Tell me now just to be something, oh, oh yeah

These walls now get closer, closer every day
I stretch out my arms and I let them fade away
These walls now get closer, closer every day
I stretch out my arms and I let them fade away
Fade away, they fade away
They fade away, oh fade away, oh

Before this fire burns out
Before I burn this town
Before my time runs out
Oh, help me now just to be something (fade away, fade away, fade away, fade away)
