lyrics

Long before the world turned upside down
I knew why you had to leave this town
There was simply nothing for you here
You waved goodbye and then you disappeared

You had to stake your claim
You had to take back your name
I was the dry earth, my dear
And you were the flame
And I don't know how
To put the fire out
Maybe I should just let it
Burn me to the ground

Embers drift beneath the burning sky
Ashes from the years we set alight
Inhaling only smoke and charred debris
Still I know that this is what must be

You had to stake your claim
You had to take back your name
I was the dry earth, my dear
And you were the flame
And I don't know how
To put the fire out
Maybe I should just let it
Burn me to the ground

You had to stake your claim
You had to take back your name
I was the dry earth
And you were the flame
And I don't know how
To put the fire out
Maybe I should just let it
Burn me to the ground
