Lyrics

Sparks Fly (Demo)

I take it back, I was never alone

My censored thoughts, mild and monotone

I took a train to Berlin today

When I called last night you felt so far away

Tonight I'll laugh, I say whatever I want

Stay in the bar til the sun comes up

And I see myself through my sister's eyes

I'm a live wire, electrified

Sparks fly, sparks fly

Death grip on some feigned humility

Effort executed beautifully

My pride clenched tight in my shaky hand

Til I let go and buried my head in the sand

Or I'll go back south, I'll leave it all behind

See myself clearly for the first time

Since I met you on a foggy night

A disaster, dignified

Sparks fly, sparks fly

We sat in the hot summer twilight

Radio loud and the brim bite

The Coosa water is choppy and wild

I jumped abruptly, unreconciled

Float on my back, watch the purple sky

In the last moments of sunlight

I know you don't recognize me

But I'm a live wire, finally

Sparks fly, sparks fly
