Proof in the past - found like an old note
There between the lines, there's something I know I know
I could tear up now but the feeling's already taken hold
The emptiness has got me by the throat
Saying oh come on strike that match
Over a field of pain and a brittle past
Like a call in the night from a rotary phone
Through the static on the line, the voice says "I know you know"
I could hang it up now but the feeling's already taken hold
The voice on the line reminds me of my own
Saying oh come on strike that match
Over a field of pain and a brittle past
I was ready
The fire in my mind it was spreading
I was willing to burn down this house we had built
And I swore I would take this all with me
I was ready
Now the fire in my heart and my belly
I was willing to burn every bridge we had built
And I swore I could take this whole city
I kept having this dream where darkness circled me and I couldn't talk
I curled up and waited for help for so long no one ever showed up
That same hollow feeling set in just like back when I was a kid
The nights went away with the days but that darkness never did
Saying oh come on light that spark
Over a dying hope and a brittle heart
I was ready
The fire in my mind - it was spreading
I was willing to burn down this house we had built
And I swore I would take this all with me
I was ready
Now the fire in my heart and my belly
I was willing to burn every bridge we had built
And I swore I would take this whole city
Then a kind woman came to me
To save me from myself and rewrote the dream
Like a mother, a sister a friend
Spoke softly
And said "you can't quench a fire by soaking it with gasoline
You can't quench a fire by soaking it with gasoline"
Nobody sang, no hallelujah
Just the static on the line
And a light that slowly shines and passes through us
Nobody sang, no rousing chorus
Just the past we leave behind
And the light that softly shines before us, before us
There between the lines, there's something I know I know
I could tear up now but the feeling's already taken hold
The emptiness has got me by the throat
Saying oh come on strike that match
Over a field of pain and a brittle past
Like a call in the night from a rotary phone
Through the static on the line, the voice says "I know you know"
I could hang it up now but the feeling's already taken hold
The voice on the line reminds me of my own
Saying oh come on strike that match
Over a field of pain and a brittle past
I was ready
The fire in my mind it was spreading
I was willing to burn down this house we had built
And I swore I would take this all with me
I was ready
Now the fire in my heart and my belly
I was willing to burn every bridge we had built
And I swore I could take this whole city
I kept having this dream where darkness circled me and I couldn't talk
I curled up and waited for help for so long no one ever showed up
That same hollow feeling set in just like back when I was a kid
The nights went away with the days but that darkness never did
Saying oh come on light that spark
Over a dying hope and a brittle heart
I was ready
The fire in my mind - it was spreading
I was willing to burn down this house we had built
And I swore I would take this all with me
I was ready
Now the fire in my heart and my belly
I was willing to burn every bridge we had built
And I swore I would take this whole city
Then a kind woman came to me
To save me from myself and rewrote the dream
Like a mother, a sister a friend
Spoke softly
And said "you can't quench a fire by soaking it with gasoline
You can't quench a fire by soaking it with gasoline"
Nobody sang, no hallelujah
Just the static on the line
And a light that slowly shines and passes through us
Nobody sang, no rousing chorus
Just the past we leave behind
And the light that softly shines before us, before us
