Feed The Fire
emirsian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How long will you hold on?
Too long for something gone.
Welcome to the fall, now.
I remember the times.
When you’ve always been around.
First left second right
You’ll find
Love at first sight
I’ve always played around
But now I don’t know how to get on
There’s no need for love
Or any reminders
All is clear somehow
I won’t feed the fire
There’s no need for love
It makes me blinder and blinder
At least you know
How much I really care.
Don’t want to play this waiting game




Something that has taken you so far without travelling
I want to stop envying
