Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Walking alone tonight 'cause
I've only got room for two
Me and my burdened black heart
It's all we know how to do
[Verse 2]
Yet, I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I continually see
Sick of all this inertia
I want a human being
[Verse 3]
Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods
A black heart pollutes me
And I think
[Verse 4]
You're a mountain
That I'd like to climb
Not to conquer
But to share in the view
[Verse 5]
Pulled by a false inertia
Pushed out by circumstance
Pistol firing at my feet
That's coercing me to dance
[Verse 6]
Yet, I look for a bigger bang
Than the kind I'm sorry to know
Here I am, first foot of the climb
Watch me go
[Verse 7]
Lover, can you help me?
I'm a child lost in the woods
A lit path eludes me
And I think
[Verse 8]
You're a mountain
That I'd like to climb
Not to conquer
But to share in the view
[Verse 9]
You're a bonfire
And I'm gathered round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame
[Verse 10]
Send you away
Send you away
Sent it away
Sent it away
[Verse 11]
Sent it away (Sent it away)
Sent it away (Sent it away)
Sent it away (Sent it away)
Sent it away (Sent it away)
[Verse 12]
You're a mountain
That I'd like to climb
Not to conquer
But to share in the view
[Verse 13]
You're a bonfire
And I gather round you
Set this old black heart inertia aflame
[Verse 14]
Set it aflame, sent it away
Set it aflame, sent it away
Set it aflame, sent it away
Set it aflame, sent it away
[Verse 15]
Set it aflame, sent it away
Set it aflame, sent it away
Set it aflame, sent it away
Set it aflame, sent it away
[Verse 16]
Set it aflame, sent it away
Set it aflame, sent it away
