lyrics

You could see all of the stars
From the hood of my old car
And I could tell you I knew my direction
I could tell you I knew what was true

We were as sure as the bonfires
That we sparked in the open fields
We were courageous and never uncertain
We never thought that a spark could go wild

Chorus
And though I wanna back away
I’m moving closer to the flame
Though I’m scared and times are strange
I’m moving closer to the flame

Out in the street, darkness is the handshake
And vice could get you to an early grave
But in you I see light glowing embers
We’re gonna make it but you can’t be afraid

Cause if you stick to what you know
You’ll never see the seeds you sow
I know change feels like flying through space
You wanna land on your feet and not flat on your face

Chorus
