The Arsonist
I've been looking to start a fire
But I couldn't catch a spark
So you gave me your matchstick
And asked if I was an arsonist
I said no I'm but a man
Without a fire in my belly
So can you lend me a hand?
For I've been struggling lately
You said, "I know where you're coming from"
It's getting harder to carry on
What if there's a fire
But it's already starved?
What if there's no heat
To light up the dark
And what if the home that we called our own
Was burnt out long ago
Winter's setting in
I'll try my best to keep you warm
And so I hand you my jacket
To give you shelter from the storm
You said the rain cannot catch us now
Since all the embers have long gone out
What if there's a fire
But it's already starved?
What if there's no heat
To light up the dark
And what if the home that we called our own
Was burnt out long ago
Fanning the flames before they go
Looking for just a little glow
You wear the words
I'll wear the pain
You bear the weight
I'll bear the blame
Fanning the flames before they go
Looking for just a little glow
What if there's a fire
But it's already starved?
What if there's no heat
To light up the dark
'Cause what if the home that we called our own
What if the home that we called our own
What if there's a fire
But it's already starved?
What if there's no heat
To light up the dark
'Cause what if the home that we called our own
What if the home that we called our own
Was burnt out long ago
But I couldn't catch a spark
So you gave me your matchstick
And asked if I was an arsonist
I said no I'm but a man
Without a fire in my belly
So can you lend me a hand?
For I've been struggling lately
You said, "I know where you're coming from"
It's getting harder to carry on
What if there's a fire
But it's already starved?
What if there's no heat
To light up the dark
And what if the home that we called our own
Was burnt out long ago
Winter's setting in
I'll try my best to keep you warm
And so I hand you my jacket
To give you shelter from the storm
You said the rain cannot catch us now
Since all the embers have long gone out
What if there's a fire
But it's already starved?
What if there's no heat
To light up the dark
And what if the home that we called our own
Was burnt out long ago
Fanning the flames before they go
Looking for just a little glow
You wear the words
I'll wear the pain
You bear the weight
I'll bear the blame
Fanning the flames before they go
Looking for just a little glow
What if there's a fire
But it's already starved?
What if there's no heat
To light up the dark
'Cause what if the home that we called our own
What if the home that we called our own
What if there's a fire
But it's already starved?
What if there's no heat
To light up the dark
'Cause what if the home that we called our own
What if the home that we called our own
Was burnt out long ago
