Firehose

It's always burning inside me
The feeling that there's something I lack
I left the village for the city
But eventually I found my way back

Still I took what they offered
Like a drain with no stopper
And the rain is a comfort to the dry

I am a hungry heart flying down the road
In a beat up car that I cannot control
Until I fall apart
I'm drinking the world through a firehose
I'm gonna fall in love if someone lets me in
Then I get beat up again and again
Too much is not enough
I'm drinking the world through a firehose
And I don't wanna let it go

I burn my finger while I'm smoking
Staring at a star covered sky
You had to linger in the kitchen
'Cause I was laughing so hard I cried

As if joy and mourning
Are two sides of the same coin
And they come without warning and join

I am a hungry heart flying down the road
In a beat up car that I cannot control
Until I fall apart
I'm drinking the world through a firehose
I'm gonna fall in love if someone lets me in
Then I'll get beat up again and again
Too much is not enough
I'm drinking the world through a firehose

And I keep looking for the truth behind the lie
I keep trying hard to prove that I'm alright

I'm a hungry heart in a beat up car
I'm gonna fall apart, I'm drinking the world through a firehose
I'm gonna fall in love if someone lets me in
Then I'll get beat up again and again
Too much is not enough
I'm drinking the world through a firehose
And I don't wanna let it go
