Flame

I’m tired unsteady

Unsteady but I’m ready

I’m ready to let it all go

Impatient but I’m waiting

Not saying what I mean

I’m trying to let it all go

And I’d pop the bottle but the bottle’s too heavy

And you get afraid when your life gets messy

And we both know that we’re running on borrowed time

And I still pray that you’ll wait

While I hold close to your flame

And I will wait

I will wait a while

Just wait a while

Just stay a while

We both know this ain’t going nowhere Misplaced

Driving don’t know where

Tight space

Waiting on you to leave

And I took three steps towards you

And you said

“Just for a minute

Can’t we turn this all around?

You don’t know what you’re saying”

“‘Cause I

I’d move away

Stay for years

And give you your space”

“But you

Can’t you see

All the things it would do to me?”

“And you’d pop the bottle but the bottle’s too heavy

And I get afraid when my life gets messy

And we both know that we’re running on borrowed time

And I made mistakes the world won’t save

But I will pray that you’ll wait

While I hold close to your flame

To your flame”
