Embers

You call me up and you know what to say
To make amends 'cause we got so far away
Reminding me of all of the times I danced, with you
I look up and you're right ahead
You start to flicker as I crash back into bed
I toss and turn as I try to get back to you

Cause we burn like a wicker when we're all alone
Burn in the same way we did before I know
You're what I wanted all along

We can go back
To the place that
We were both like a fire and burning off to the sky
Like embers we can rise
In a smokescreen
Will you know me
Cause you knew me better than I knew myself
In time
Like embers we can

Call me up and we're still the same
Leave in the morning and we go separate ways
Like there's a chance we actually want to find
Something new
Cause there's no catching on
I know what we said
It's hard to stay friends when you end up in my bed
If there's a chance I'll have to explain
Again, again, again

We can go back
To the place that
We were both like a fire and burning off to the sky
Like embers we can rise
In a smokescreen
Will you know me
Cause you knew me better than I knew myself
In time
Like embers we can rise

Can you hear me
Calling out from the wreckage
I sound a little breathless and alone
Can you hear me
Calling over the frequency
My voice is wearing thin but you need to know

We can go back
To the place that
We were both like a fire and burning off to the sky
Like embers we can rise

We can go back
To the place that
We were both like a fire and burning off to the sky
Like embers we can rise
In a smokescreen
Will you know me
Cause you knew me better than I knew myself
In time
Like embers we can rise
