[Verse 1]

I'm gathering wood

I'm cutting down trees

I'm keeping it dry like my father taught me

I'm doing fake smiles

It's inevitable

Matter of time then you're gonna leave me

[Pre-Chorus]

And I am all for preparation

I'm well aware, so I prepare for separation

I'm gathering wood, I'm cutting down trees

[Chorus]

'Cause I'ma light fires

So when you're lost you look for embers

You look for ashes

Yes, I'ma light fires

So when you're lost you just you remember

To look for matches

Every time the darkness gets too black

Evеry time you find yourself off track

Then I'ma light firеs

So you can find me

I'ma light fires

[Verse 2]

I'm gathering stones

I'm marking out lines

I'm steeling myself like my mother taught me

I know that farewell is inevitable

Matter of time then you're gonna break free

[Pre-Chorus]

And I'm all for preparation

I'm well aware, so I prepare for separation

I'm gathering stones, I'm marking out lines

[Chorus]

'Cause I'ma light fires

So when you're lost you look for embers

You look for ashes

Yes I'ma light fires

So when you're lost you just you remember

To look for matches

Every time the darkness gets too black

Every time you find yourself off track

Then I'ma light fires

So you can find me

I'ma light fires

[Bridge]

I'ma light fires

I'ma light fires

I'ma light fires

[Chorus]

Every time the darkness gets too black

Every time you find yourself off track

Then I'ma light fires

So you can find me

I'ma light fires

'Cause I'ma light fires

So when you're lost you look for embers

You look for ashes

Yes, I'ma light fires

So when you're lost you just you remember

To look for matches

[Outro]

Every time the darkness gets too black

Every time you find yourself off track

Then I'ma light fires

So you can find me

I'ma light fires
