Hands To the Fire

I saw the light
leave the cold September sky
We were firelight delight
holding hands to block the light
Deep in the dark, where we whispered of the shark that was hiding at the bottom of the lake.
I tried to speak while you were hiding underneath the bed the night you creeped through the windows to my sheets
Were you aware that I was a little scared when you said there's no such thing as a mistake
We only wanted it all
We only wanted it all
What we want, what we want
By flicker flame thinking all who we could blame
For us losing all the games, shed our skin like we are snakes

Deep in the trees, touched my elbow to your knees
When everything was graceful and brand new
I left the trail, shiver shaking like a tail Like a seller made a sale, like a winner never failed
Caught in the wind, sent a new life to begin
When living was the only thing to do
We only wanted it all
We only wanted it all
We only wanted it all
