lyrics

i watched you walk into the fire
that night
you said you were gonna save a
baby’s life
but then five minutes later i saw
you walk out the other side
& i was the one burning up
inside
this halo in my chest
it doesn’t feel right
becuz half the time it’s just
spinning circles around my
heart
did i do it for you or
did i do it for me?
did i live my life just as patiently
as a bird that flies?
i was the one who couldn’t sleep
at night
dreams of you falling kept me
up alright
at the end of time will you be
able to say you said it all?
so give me your wisdom
give me your love
give me precision when we’re
talking of the times ahead
where it might grow darker
than we thought
cuz you are the one
the starry one
only you can open up the wood
& quiet me down
& all you receivers should
assume no weight for why i
don’t know why
everything that blooms (just)
wrecks me
