i can remember that sparkle and shine
that's since slipped away from your eyes
honeysuckle sun, crawling fast for the door
and love doesn't burn anymore
we ALL feel fire flick 'round our ears
it GROWS as summer skies stay clear
it KNOWS just where to tease and bite
and what to WHISPER in the morning light
fall fast, for whatever lights your way
we're the fools who stay wide awake
free me, leave me high and dry
it ain't no surprise, i'm just HOLDING OUT
i won't make a sound
and may you find your brighter side
no man's an island, but i wish to be
floating alone in the sea
driftwood can carry me far till I'm home
I just want to soak my own sun
we ALL feel fire fly fleeting by
my, my it BEATS right 'neath my eyes
and lades my lungs with SAGE and LYE
and waits for a while to WAKE me up at night
fall fast, for whatever lights your way
we're the fools who stay wide awake
free me, leave me high and dry
it ain't no surprise, i'm just HOLDING OUT
i won't make a sound
and may you find your brighter side
