Firefight

Like a rose bud
I could have been someone
She spoke so plainly
Like it's all been said and done

I stirred my coffee
And stared off into space
It's hard to know exactly what the right thing is to say

Time bleeds out
Gotta find a quick solution
To get up off the ground

Dreams unbound
Will we ever stop believing
We'll never make it out

I can sing alright
Good at making light
But I never learnt to fire fight

So this rosebud
Why will it never show
Who exactly told you
That you'll never get to grow

I look around us
You're right where you should be
But there's a rope around your neck
That only you can see

I can sing alright
Good at making light
But I never learnt to fire fight

If I hold on tight
Get it nearly right
Will I ever learn to sleep at night

Everyone is moving on
I thought by now I might belong
Maybe feel a little wiser
I don't feel old enough
To feel too young for giving up
Oh I used to be a diver
Now I'm scared to be a few miles from the sun

I can sing alright
Good at making light
But I never learnt to fire fight

If I hold on tight
Get it nearly right
Will I ever learn to fire fight?
