lyrics

There are still sixteen heartbeats
In a dead man's chest
Should we give him mouth to mouth
Or save our breath?
No, I didn't know him well
But I knew him some
He used to come around here
Shooting his mouth off about guns
He'd say, if a war is on
I just ain't gonna lie here
Throw me into the fire

Something's broken in my loveseat
And it feels like spring
You've got a mind reader's face
I bet you know what I mean
Looking past these eyes
Like you're out of sight
I got a hundred different ways
To make you see the light
I feel you heating up
But it ain't enough to admire
Throw me into the fire

Stand too close to the flame
And you're bound to get burned

The candle thought he had it handled
'Til he met his match
There ain't nothing you can give me
I can't give you right back
There's a magic to this town
Maybe you feel it too?
The orangutans cannot be tamed
Dance party in the zoo

My soul will be released
Like a solar flare in the sun
You've got to look toward the stars
To know where I'm coming from
Into the building, I run
As the smoke billows out
My home, you cannot see
I eat and sleep in a house
But I live in the place
Where patience meets with desire
Throw me into the fire
Throw me into the fire
Throw me into the fire
