Blue blue fire

(soft acoustic guitar picking, slow nostalgic sway)

The streetlight paints your name in gold,

On the back of my mind,

I drive through towns that never change,

Still looking for a sign.

Your shadow sits beside me

In the passenger seat,

And every song on the radio

Feels like your heartbeat.

I keep my hands on the wheel,

But I’m not steering straight,

I’m circling the same old dream

Outside your gate.

And I fall like a slow wave,

Into your blue, blue fire,

Your love is a guiding light

I can’t stop driving toward.

I swear I’ll leave, I swear I’m done,

But I’m a liar…

Because your name tastes like a kiss

And it pulls me back once more.

(soft echo on last line)

The moon is hanging low again,

Like a secret on a string,

And every window I pass by

Feels like it’s listening.

I try to laugh, I try to sleep,

But it never stays,

You live inside the quiet part

Between my days.

I keep my voice down low,

Like a prayer in the dark,

But every road I take still leads

To where you are.

And I fall like a slow wave,

Into your blue, blue fire,

Your love is a guiding light

I can’t stop driving toward.

I swear I’ll leave, I swear I’m done,

But I’m a liar…

Because your name tastes like a kiss

And it pulls me back once more.

If love is just a shadow,

Then let it cover me,

If pain is just a highway,

Then I’ll never be free.

(brief instrumental break: acoustic guitar melody hook, very memorable)

And I fall like a slow wave,

Into your blue, blue fire,

Your love is a guiding light

I can’t stop driving toward.

I swear I’ll leave, I swear I’m done,

But I’m a liar…

Because your name tastes like a kiss

And it pulls me back…

And I fall like a slow wave,

Into your blue, blue fire,

Soft as an old memory

Singing through the floor.

I swear I’ll leave, I swear I’m done,

But I’m a liar…

Because your name tastes like a kiss

And it pulls me back once more.
