Laura Stevenson - The Fire lyrics

Here's to mud in your eye
Here's to you and the rest of your life

I see the outline and you're unlined
I feel the shake of uneven table legs
And I can't sit back and help you celebrate

The world is braiding and time is bending
So I could go tonight and try
And keep you both from burning
I bring you bad news from another place
Even if it means that I am made to be erased
I love you more than both of you could say
And I can't bear to see you
Turn another day in the fire

In the fire, we are folding in the fire
And it's nicer than it was with the
Pictures warming up and getting lost
As the silver takes the sun

And you will make a stumbling father
Crumbling mother with
Two little wrecking balls to help
You level out each other
And you'll pull over and go to sleep
She'll make you beg hard
For every little piece
And they'll grow up fast and
Watch you both repeat
And never find the loving that
You need in the fire

In the fire, we are folding in the fire
Run in opposite directions maybe then you'll
Meet up on the other side
As the silver takes the sun
And it washes out the fear in everyone

You were too fucked up to
See what you would become
If you jump into the fire
