I Started a Forest Fire Today
Hey, I started a forest fire today
All of Maine to Nova Scotia is in flame
Hey, I breathed my life into this place
You can see it from a thousand miles away
Red, like the blood I shed, come dance within the embers of my soul
I made this special one for you
Tarantulas all glisten in the twilight of the coming night so cold
I made this special one for you
Hey, will you be meeting me today?
I’m lonely and I really hate to wait
Hey, I just don’t know how long my head will stay
The forest is still fine, burning away
Please, don’t leave me hanging here, I don’t know what I’d do if I wasn’t touched
I’m sat here patiently for you
The stars in my head, they scream with light and energy so cold
I’m sat here patiently for you
Hey, where will I be when all this ends?
The stars are dangerously close again
Hey, is my destiny to grow up here alone?
The air has grown too hot to feel my face
I thought the flame would die before the darkness fell upon me and the world
But I still feel so cold
I thought I’d have a chance to take control, to change my impact on the world
But I still feel so cold
But I still feel so cold
But I still feel so cold
