Dreams & Fire Lyrics

It was a three alarm, or maybe four

They ran for the door

Heard the struggle and commotion outside

Packed a bag in the smoke,

Couldn’t help but cry in the confusion

He wet a rag, held it over her nose

And he just held his breath

Felt the door with his palm,

It was satanically warm

Man, this is a fiery mess

His reasoning became increasingly ruined

Had no idea what his hands they were doing

But he smashed a window with a chair

Told her to jump for a tree branch

And just wait there, he would follow

And just as he got halfway over the threshold

He turned and saw a picture of them

And thought about a time when the world was quiet

And everything wasn’t literally burning

When he jumped he believed he could fly

Grabbed the branch and looked into her eyes

And right as the place collapsed, they let go

They fell and landed coughing on the grass

And as the flames were fought, they so playfully thought

This is our best excuse for moving on

So with the silence so loud, they inched through the crowd

Got in a car and waved so long
