The Fire

Why are we sitting in silence?
I feel something caught in your eyes
I can't hear
You've been so quietly violent
I fear there's been bloodshed
Between both your ears

Maybe she's tired of angels
Winters that promise her leaves
Lately she's cherished her paleness
Maybe she doesn't want peace

So I ran through the fire
And I held out my hand
I'm not here to save you
I don't have a plan
You see, love isn't rescue
It's someone to lose
My feet burn but dear
Now I'm in this with you

Throw out the plans I devised, then
My boat just touched onto the shore from the sea
Chained up, and locked in a tower
She looked down, said
Boy I don't need to be freed

Spare me your happier ending
I want to feel everything
The branches are bare
If there's love in the wind
Let it grow with the leaves into spring

So I ran through the fire
And I held out my hand
I'm not here to save you
I don't have a plan
You see, love isn't rescue
It's someone to lose
My feet burn but dear
Now I'm in this with you

I know there's danger in all this
Cause safety's just love for a fool
You'll be my reason to carry on
But I need you to know we might lose

So I ran through the fire
And I held out my hand
I'm not here to save you
I don't have a plan
You see, love isn't rescue
It's someone to lose
My feet burn but dear
Now I'm in this with you

My feet burn but dear
I still made it to you
