There's a man far from here who made sure to stay well clear
of taking hold or letting go, always choosing not to know.
But then his bridges burned
Sometimes still he stops and turns,
listening to open skies for broken words and severed ties.
And I believe that wordless call he hears sometimes could reach us all.
I stayed for so long where dream and day collide.
Now I'm on fire,
There's a girl, one I know, who wrapped up her heart in snow.
Much too proud and much too vain, she thought she could hide her pain
in that clean and crispy chill
To this day, she feels it still.
Once frozen to the core, she's not who she was before
And I believe that chilling cold she feels sometimes could touch us all.
I stayed for so long where dream and day collide
Now I'm on fire (2x).
Let it freeze, let it burn.
Someday soon it is your turn to fall down as others fell.
As they wept, you will as well.
