There's something in the air in the leaves on the ground rustling, rustling you know you've got a fire baby, light it up oh, light it up I forgot that the sea was watching me Let this old heart beat tonight oh, light it up Light it up You know all that you need is a fire to light the love You know all that you need is a fire to light the love light the love It used to be simple strike, spark, and flame Now you feel you've got to burn your name oh, light it up light it up You know all that you need is a fire to light the love You know all that you need is a fire to light the love light the love Some days I come alive Blood is moving And my gears stay in drive Blood is moving Come alive, come alive Blood is moving Come alive, come alive Blood is moving There's something in the air in the leaves on the ground rustling, rustling you know you've got a fire Light it up Oh, light it up Oh, light it up light it up

When I go walking I count the shadows I always have since I was a child She calls it wisdom says it's my "old soul" I think it's the soul's suicide Give it up to me I want to be just like you Living out of my head Living out of my mind Out of my head Living out of my mind How do you measure The difference between The way you play and the hand you're dealt I must confess that Every single day I want to leave my cards face down on the felt Give it up to me I want to be just like you Living out of my head Living out of my mind Out of my head Living out of my mind Oh, there's a fire Every night in the sky The stars, I can see 'em I'm convinced I can be 'em If I just learn how not to try how not to try When I go walking I count the shadows I always have since I was a child She calls it wisdom says it's my "old soul" I think it's the soul's suicide I think it's the soul's suicide

You can barely see me when the sky goes black When the sky goes black But a wind, it blew and drew a line from your heart to mine and my dark went slack Underground I go I could be so much more than this, I know But instead I disregard this oxygen Go subterranean I go subterranean I go subterranean I try to leave some kind of map some sort of trail to let my lovers come and follow me they follow me and always fail Underground I go I could be so much more than this, I know But instead I disregard this oxygen Go subterranean I go subterranean I go subterranean The first time that I fall I could be down the road Next, I've lost it all I could have been something! Keep me on the line You keep me above the ground You can barely see me when the sky goes black When the sky goes black But a wind, it blew and drew a line from his heart to mine and I aint going back

First the party was in moonlight Then it bled into the day Then the party went and swallowed each 24 hours of the day When it gets hard to breathe don't breathe to hard when those ghosts line up in your own backyard each one an old regret you can't disregard It gets hard to breathe so don't breathe too hard Then there is the matter of the telephone I just let it ring and ring I guess somewhere along the line in fantasy and fancy wine I forgot the simplest thing When it gets hard to breathe don't breathe to hard when those ghosts line up in your own backyard each one an old regret you can't disregard It gets hard to breathe so don't breathe too hard First the party was in moonlight Then it bled into the day I guess if I'm going to find something close to peace of mind I better be changing my ways When it gets hard to breathe don't breathe to hard when those ghosts line up in your own backyard each one an old regret you can't disregard It gets hard to breathe so don't breathe too hard

I am so cynical hard-headed and blind I am faithless, I am tired And bursts of confidence have yielded little motion it takes a lot for me to be inspired but you are magic you're laughing at me as you dangle from the tree's weakest limbs because I'm so tragic it's all I know how to be singing from my big blue book of hymns now the ground is falling down from under me but I move right on time everything you wanted to show me I see right on time I feel you right on time I am a storm cloud all weighted and gray ready to rain down on all that's dry and you are the sun the only smiling one that keeps me suspended in the sky now the ground is falling down from under me but I move right on time everything you wanted to show me I see right on time I feel you right on time I feel you coming down most of my days run in blues and grays with a few red-alerts and when I feel my joy it's brief but I feel it so deeply it hurts now the ground is falling down from under me but I move right on time everything you wanted to show me I see right on time I feel you right on time
