Fire
Foreign Figures Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holding like a hinge
Can't seem to catch the wind
I've been here before
Always stuck in reform
Give me some advice
I'll put up a fight
Fire
Take me higher
Keep my soul on fire
Fire
Let's burn brighter
Take me higher
Keep my soul on fire
Hold on tight
Time won't slip away
You'll be fine, you're heart is underway
Keep the fire
Keep it burning free
Turn your lows into energy
Fire
Let's burn brighter
Take me higher
Keep my soul on fire
Fire
Let's burn brighter
Take me higher
Keep my soul on fire
I try to give up all my pride
I learn to sacrifice
The wait is worth my time
I love, I'm learning to go on
Forgive the past I've burned
Find reason from the wrong
Fire
Let's burn brighter
Take me higher
Keep my soul on fire
Fire
Let's burn brighter
Take me higher
Keep my soul on fire
Fire
Let's burn brighter
Take me higher
Set my soul on fire
