Forest Fire
Harmony Trowbridge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we break up when the sky says
we make love every day
we make love
we make love every day
we make love when the sky says
and we break up every day
you burn it down to make it
you burn it down, burn it down
forest fire, forest fire
you burn it down to make it
so burn it down, burn it down
why don't you think we can take it?
see the hearts in the grave
opaque morning sky
don't they know it
oh the times that we tried
to arrive the safe (...)
hard (...)
see the hearts in the grave
opaque morning sky
don't they know it
oh the times that we tried
to arrive the safe (...)
hard (...)
