Too far away
To feel this close
I sent my heart out on a wire
Reeling it in
I swear never again
Then I remember the fire
To feel the burn
I have to learn
To keep my heart in a box up high
To have the spark
I’ll add a postmark
And send it away
Goodbye, goodbye
The fire burned the straws
We were grasping
The heat enveloped us
And left me gasping
For the life you breathed into me
Now I sit in the ashes
But I’ll rise higher
We’ll never have forever
But we’ll always have
The fire
