lyrics

I remember a time where I could flip through my mind without encountering strife
I remember a time where I could go for a drive without fear of my life
And I remember a time where I was totally fine with the state of my health
And I remember a time where I could have a glass of wine without fear of embarrassing myself
But then there was you
And I’m pretty sure I was there too

You really threw me a curve
When you invaded my world
With no more warning than hello
I took it as an offense
When you cleared every defense
Just to pull me into your undertow
And I told you time and time again I wasn’t worth this fire
And you told me time and time again that I was a liar
But it didn’t hurt oh no
We just watched each other’s flesh get burnt
​
I remember way back where I could say this or that without regret or trouble
I remember way back where I could safely pass every muddy puddle
And I remember way back where I could sit still in class without laughing fits
And I remember way back where I just took it as fact that everybody needed to be fixed
But then there was you
And I’m pretty sure I was there too

You really threw me a curve
When you invaded my world
With no more warning than hello
I took it as an offense
When you cleared every defense
Just to pull me into your undertow
And I told you time and time again I wasn’t worth this fire
And you told me time and time again that I was a liar
But it didn’t hurt oh no
We just watched each other’s flesh get burnt

But I’ve started learning
From this burning
That I’m still earning my stripes
And from this burning
I’ve started learning
That it belongs in a special place
To ravage, run and take up space
So keep it close and keep it safe
And keep it crazed
It’s a special kind of fire
So put more wood upon this pyre
And we’ll keep burning til we’re smoking signals shouting out
​
I remember a time where I would flip through my mind and bore myself to tears
And I remember a time where I would go for a drive and with only empty chairs
Then
​
You really threw me a curve
When you invaded my world
With no more warning than hello
I took it as an offense
When you cleared every defense
Just to pull me into your undertow
And I told you time and time again I wasn’t worth this fire
And you told me time and time again that I was a liar
But it didn’t hurt oh no
We just watched each other’s flesh get burnt
