The flame was there but then I touched it with wet hands
I couldn’t care, my shield wouldn’t bend
It’s not fair to you that our wax hearts can’t mend
Yet I still melt in to you like they can
I’m sorry if I offended you
I really only meant to brighten your future through
Being someone who would take dares for you
Fight fires to prove
That I’m worthy of your light
You’ve shown me what my darkness really is
You hold me, and everything just makes sense
I can’t control my greed, I need your essence on me
I need to feel your body
And just like that
I dim
We get to talking
I swim
My melted wax hardening around my heart
Away I go, my soul apart
Left with numbness only the feeling of you can burn
I’m no good for you babe, you have a lot to learn
You are the flame in the California fires
I am the rain that settled you down
The heat I created in you destroys you
So I guess I’ll just go away now
I want nothing more than to be your lighter
But I’m not the match you see
So I guess I’ll blow you out, before you scold even more than me
