Driftwood

I tried to stand too close to fire And I got burned I’ve done the same thing over and over Why won’t I learn? Seeing you there Turned me to a mess I wouldn’t mind Smiling at your messages all day No my life will never be the same I’m used to fire Burn me to a crisp Bring your match I’ll bring a can of gasoline with me Just waiting for the word Can you just say something Burned out by my last flame No good Discarded and left for Driftwood It’s hard to light again When the past blackened your skin None have tried to light a match Light me twice and stay attached But some things are worth the encore Some things are worth burning up for Seeing you there Turned me to a mess I wouldn’t mind Smiling at your messages all day No my life will never be the same I’m used to fire Burn me to a crisp Bring your match I’ll bring a can of gasoline with me Just waiting for the word Can you just say something Floating through spaces Losing track of faces Can someone please hold me I’m all on my own. Helpless and fading In love with a painting She never texts back and She’s never alone. And although i strive to Become more alive Im held back by the thought that She’ll never be mine But the chase is what matters Not what happens after I’ll always be floating and floating i’m fine. Seeing you there Turned me to a mess I wouldn’t mind Smiling at your messages all day No my life will never be the same I’m used to fire Burn me to a crisp Bring your match I’ll bring a can of gasoline with me Just waiting for the word Can you just say something
