lyrics

Staring at the street light,
In the pouring rain.
No traffic signs,
To light her way.

So breach those steps,
And sit for a while.
You're the only one,
For miles and miles.

So, Light a fire a flame,
A fire a flame.
Light a fire a flame,
A fire a flame.

Burn the things that gave your fame,
Burn the things that cause you pain.

Light a fire a flame,
A fire a flame.
Light a fire a flame,
A fire a flame.

Burn the things that gave your fame,
Burn the things that cause you pain.

And when the fire is out,
When it knocks you down.
And from the ash,
You start again.

Stuck outside, nowhere to go.
You want this road to be yours and I want to fly.
Stuck outside, nowhere to go.
You want this road to be yours and I want to fly.

Suddenly she sees it,
The rain has stopped.
The clouds have gone away,
And the sun comes up.

She rushes down the steps,
And begins to smile.
Headed towards the light,
For miles and miles.

So, Light a fire a flame,
A fire a flame.
Light a fire a flame,
A fire a flame.

Burn the things that gave your fame,
Burn the things that cause you pain.

Light a fire a flame,
A fire a flame.
Light a fire a flame,
A fire a flame.

Burn the things that gave your fame,
Burn the things that cause you pain.

And when the fire is out,
When it knocks you down.
And from the ash,
You start again.

Light a fire a flame,
A fire a flame.
Light a fire a flame,
A fire a flame.

Burn the things that gave your fame,
Burn the things that cause you pain.

Light a fire a flame,
A fire a flame.
Light a fire a flame,
A fire a flame.

Burn the things that gave your fame,
Burn the things that cause you pain.

And when the fire is out,
When it knocks you down.
