lyrics

are you stoked that I remembered the embers would be stirred by any word of an old flame?

I misspoke, I said that come December I predict a thawing of the pain

but when you come over you can tell I'm not taking good care of myself
It was nice to see you all the same
each of us is carrying the kindling we need to start a flame

take me over
take me all the way
I'm tired of treading water
I wanna ride the waves
we've been treading lightly around eggshells so long I wanna run away

I don't wanna burn you or incinerate myself
the flames that we are carrying can be a risk to health
buildings burn behind us and so do our old flames
each of us is carrying the kindling we're gonna need to start again

It's not over till we're all done singing
I for one know I am just beginning

next time you come over see for yourself
I've been taking care of all of us
I'm not taking anything on trust
half our heroes have forsaken us
the others turn in their graves
that's why it falls on us to rekindle the flame

last time you came over you could tell I wasn't taking good care of myself
It was nice to see you all the same
each of us is carrying a flame
