[Intro: Chris Wright]

Keep the fire warm for me, I'm at the heart of the story

I ought to stay 'til the morning, but I got things to record, and

When I'm here I'm just holding onto things that are broken

I used to think I was chosen, I know, I know when to fold, and

I ought to really get going before my feelings start showing

But it ain't real 'til it's spoken, so I'll keep my mouth shut

Yeah (Yeah)


[Verse 1: Chris Wright]

If I fall will you carry all my accomplishments?

'Cause I been wearing them way too long to complement

I need to know we've got more than just an apartment, shit

I'm trying to step out the box, but it's all compartmented

If you don't need me, just tell me out on some honest shit

If I was looking for simple, I'd pick an Amish chick

And If I tell you I love you, would you break all suspense?

'Cause I got more than just something that you could fall against

And everybody been running from they past

I been tryna go the other way, but ain't moving fast

You sent a message to my phone, but I never hit back

'Cause all the feelings that you bring to me won't stay in the glass

So I been running, running, running, hiding from something

No I'm not coming, coming, coming, don't call me for nothing

I'm at the fire, fire, fire, if you want discussion

I'm getting higher, higher, higher, no time be rushing it, oh yeah


[Chorus: Chris Wright]

If I see you at the bonfire

I'll be sure that I don't say your name

If I meet you at the bonfire

When you walk away, I won't complain

If we talking at the bonfire, nah

I'll be praying you don't feel my pain

If you leave me at the bonfire

I'll regret it that I never explained


[Verse 2: Samsa]

If you'll hold me at the bonfire

I could meet you babe, I'm halfway there

If you'd meet me at the bonfire

We'd run away we wouldn't have to care

If you'd just let me burn (Burn)

If you'd just let us blaze

If you'd just let me baby

Me and you could go up in flames

At the bonfire (We could run)

At the bonfire (We could run away)

At the bonfire (We could run)

Babe, I'm halfway there

At the bonfire (We could run away)

At the bonfire (We could run)

At the bonfire, we'd run away

We wouldn't have to care
