Out of Your Fire

Verse 1 You were lightning in a downtown bar Burning holes through my guarded heart Said forever like it meant something Like a promise carved in gold I was leaning where your shadow fell Every story that you chose to tell You were dancing on a wire I was already sold Pre-Chorus I gave you every door wide open Every word I never said You were looking for a moment I was looking for a life instead Chorus Now I’m standing out of your fire Hands still shaking from the heat You were taking me higher and higher Just to drop me at your feet I was drowning in desire You were barely breaking sweat Now I’m standing out of your fire Trying to love what’s left Verse 2 You were velvet with a hidden blade Every kiss had a price to pay I kept calling it devotion You were calling it a game Now the silence hits a little clean Like a truth washing gasoline Guess I finally see We were never burning the same Pre-Chorus I was building something steady You were chasing after sparks You just wanted to feel wanted I was giving you my heart Chorus Now I’m standing out of your fire Hands still shaking from the heat You were taking me higher and higher Just to drop me at your feet I was drowning in desire You were barely breaking sweat Now I’m standing out of your fire Trying to love what’s left Bridge (Breakdown – piano/Rhodes led) Maybe I mistook the danger For a kind of destiny Maybe I was just addicted To who I thought you’d be But I won’t go back to ashes Just to feel your flame again I’d rather stand here in the cold Than disappear in you like then Final Chorus (bigger, stacked harmonies) Now I’m standing out of your fire And it’s colder than I knew But I’d rather feel the quiet Than keep burning down for you You were love without the anchor I was all in from the start Now I’m standing out of your fire With the smoke inside my heart Outro (Guitar solo section – repeat hook line under adlibs) Standing out of your fire… Out of your fire… (“Higher and higher…”) Out of your fire…
