[Intro]
Follow the bright circle past the great wall
Beyond the mountains that burn

[Verse 1]
Packed up things from your house and put them away
I knew that I was going to go away
From these things but I knew
We lifted up the mattress off the fire escape
We left the truck door open
So you could escape through the fire, through the fire

[Chorus]
Am I making a mistake? Swimming the wrong way?
Am I?
Am I making a mistake? Should I hit the breaks?
Should I?

[Verse 2]
When you left that day you didn't hug me goodbye
And I called out your name so I could tell you "Goodbye"
When you left, goodbye
You kissed me on the forehead and said I was strange
I looked at you and nodded and said "Okay, I am strange"
"I am strange"
[Chorus]
Am I making a mistake? Swimming the wrong way?
Am I?
Am I making a mistake? Should I hit the breaks?
Should I?
You tell me that I am strange, that I need to change
Do I?
So I am making change, there's no other way in my mind

[Refrain]
Through the fire (Am I making a mistake?)
Through the fire (Am I swimming the wrong way?)
Through the fire (Am I making a mistake?)
(Am I going the wrong way?)

[Bridge]
Am I making a mistake, going the wrong way?
(I can go but I cannot change my ways)
Am I making a mistake? Should I hit the breaks?

[Refrain]
Through the fire, through the fire
Through the fire, through the fire (Am I making a mistake?)
Through the fire (Am I going the wrong way?)
Through the fire (Am I making a mistake?)
(Am I going the wrong way?)
[Outro]
Am I making a mistake? Am I making a mistake?
Am I making a mistake? Am I making a mistake?
Am I making a mistake?
