Build a Fire

You're left alone with your thoughts all day When someone calls you tell them that you're ok Outside the long low shadows creep You put away the past and you try to go to sleep Time to build a fire Time to light it up Time to let it burn bright and then it's time to stop And then it's time to stop I never knew you could be that way I never knew you would hurt me I never knew you could be that way I never knew you would hurt me Back in the empty city again Waiting for your passport, running from your friends Outside they're burning down the past They're dreaming in their sleep if they think it's gonna last The night goes 90 miles an hour The terrifying dawn is unfolding like a flower They live a life of quiet despair They turn to pull you in But they never find you there They never find you there I never knew you could be that way I never knew you would hurt me I never knew you could be that way I never knew you would hurt me, hurt me I never knew you could be that way I never knew you would hurt me I never knew you could be that way I never knew you would hurt me, hurt me Time to build a fire Time to light it up Time to let it burn bright and then it's time to stop Time to build a fire Time to light it up Time to let it burn bright and then it's time to stop Time to feed the fire Time to fill your cup The heat eats everything and it's never gonna stop Time to feed the fire Time to fill your cup The world will keep on turning, it's never gonna stop No, it's never gonna stop I never knew you could be that way I never knew you could be that way
