Sara Bareilles
Orpheus / Fire (Live from the Hollywood Bowl)
[Part I: Orpheus]
[Chorus]
Don't stop
Trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Though I know it’s blinding, there's a way out
Say out loud
Will not give up on love now
No fear
Don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
We’ll say
We did not give up on love today
[Part II: Fire]
[Verse 1]
Door clicks while his wheels start spinning on the pavement
I go fill the space up where he has been staying
Won't lose much sleep, he never went that deep
"Love you," oh, you sweet thing, no, I never said that
Let me hold your ego while you get your bag packed
Don't take this the wrong way
But when the spade shows up, I call it by its first name
[Chorus]
We were, we were never gonna catch fire
We'd've burned up in the flames
Long before they ever rose up higher
Someday, I, I won't have to feel the cold
But I do now, so I'll know
What it feels like when I feel fire, fire
[Post-Chorus]
(Fire)
(Fire)
[Verse 2]
Talk, touch, kiss, then this one's just like all the others
And I know all too well that I want deeper waters
I held my breath to swim
But shallow shores aren’t safe enough to dive in
[Chorus]
We were, we were never gonna catch fire
We’d've burned up in the flames
Long before they ever rose up higher
Someday, I, I won’t have to feel the cold
But I do now, so I'll know
What it feels like when I feel fire, fire
[Bridge]
That comes-and-stays fire
On-blood-and-veins fire
I've only ever wanted fire
In my chest, in my mouth, on my tongue, in my mind
In my soul, so my lungs can breathe in fire
[Chorus]
We'd’ve burned up in the flames
Long before they ever rose up higher
Someday, I, I won't have to feel the cold
I do now, so I'll know
What it feels like when I feel fire, fire
Fire, fire
[Outro]
