Some Fires

It never felt like a mistake

It was never for show

Caught your eyes through the haze and the smoke

But held my ground on to you

 

I felt the pull of something magical

Like a spell I couldn’t let go

Chemical and undeniable

Just a glimpse of what we could’ve been

 

Some fires burn bright but aren’t meant to hold

A spark that we shared but we’ll never know

If our feelings were right, but the timing was wrong

Yeah, it feels like a summer

Like a breeze on an ember

Yeah, some fires burn bright, but ours

will be remembered

as it flickers out of sight

 

I pictured us on the highway

Chasing the open sky

Burning gas and the miles rolled away

We claimed our own piece of time

 

I felt the pull of something magical

Like a spell I couldn’t let go

Chemical and undeniable

But you had to walk away

 

Some fires burn bright but aren’t meant to hold

A spark that we shared but we’ll never know

If our feelings were right, but the timing was wrong

It wasn’t forever, but it’s still something Yeah

Yeah, it feels like a summer

Like a breeze on an ember

Yeah, some fires burn bright, but ours

will be remembered

as it flickers out of sight

 

A glance that lingered,

a step never taken

A story that begins with the end

Some fires burn bright but aren’t meant to hold

A spark that we shared but we’ll never know

If our feelings were right, but the timing was wrong

It wasn’t forever, but it’s still something Yeah

Yeah, it feels like a summer

Like a breeze on an ember

Yeah, some fires burn bright, but ours

will be remembered

as it flickers out of sight
