Forest Fire

Like a virus Gotta let it run its course We can't survive this Even if we feel remorse It passed me by There are no buildings here to mourn It's calm, but we're in the eye We're in the eye of the storm And I don't want to say goodbye I could give it another try Sometimes these things happen slow But nature has ways Of giving herself space And a forest has to burn Just to grow You taught me about Westerns And movies and patience I sang you my songs and I waited and waited But a fire today is a forest tomorrow And we'll be okay after we've felt some sorrow This is rising from the ashes It's clearing a path, it's Starting anew It's best for me and you And I don't want to say goodbye I could give it another try Sometimes these things happen slow But nature has ways Of giving herself space And a forest has to burn Just to grow I've got to set fire To this whole damn forest Or I'll never grow Yeah, I'll never flourish I need to catch fire To breathe in new life Ohhhh You want to go for a walk in the woods? Maybe we can mend whatever we broke Gave it our best shot We did all that we could But now I smell smoke And I don't want to say goodbye I could give it another try Sometimes these things happen slow But nature has ways Of giving herself space And a forest has to burn Just to grow
