Your Fires
Emotional Crossroads: Navigating Love's Complexities in 'Your Fires'
Lyrics
You've got your head and your heart mixed up
You are confused, mixing up your thoughts and emotions.
And there's nothing I could say
I can't find words to change your perspective.
And there's nothing I could do to prove you wrong
No actions can convince you otherwise.
You've got your head and your heart mixed up
Your confusion persists between your head and heart.
And I think that I knew and I think that I've known all along
I suspected and have known about this confusion for a while.
But you knew we had it coming
Acknowledging that consequences were inevitable.
You knew we had it coming, you knew we had it coming
A repetition emphasizing the inevitability of consequences.
You knew we had it coming, you knew we did
Reinforcing the acknowledgment of impending consequences.
And it's time to tell them what we know
Time to share our knowledge or truth with others.
You said you'd stay if I would go
You promised to stay if I left, so I'll leave.
So I'll go, so I'll go
Reiterating the decision to leave.
And I said I'd never let you down
I promised not to disappoint you.
And you said you won't fuck me around
You assured me you wouldn't deceive me.
But we know, but we know
We both know the promises were not kept.
That I'm an eight and you're a ten
I feel inferior (eight) compared to you (ten).
Well I guess it's fate has me winning
Fate seemed in my favor initially.
Or at least it did at the beginning
Or, at least, it appeared that way at the start.
It's time to tell them what we know
Repeating the need to share our truth.
You said you'd stay if I would go
Reiterating the decision to leave for the sake of staying.
So I'll go, so I'll go
Confirming the intention to leave.
And I said that I'd stay up all night
I promised to stay awake all night.
But you got drunk and I got tired
You got drunk, and I became tired.
So can we just put out these fires?
Can we extinguish the conflicts between us?
Just put out these fires
Repeating the plea to resolve issues.
I said that I'd stay up all night
I committed to staying awake, but circumstances changed.
But you got drunk and I got tired
You became intoxicated, and I grew weary.
So can we just put out these fires?
Reiterating the desire to quell the disturbances.
Just put out these fires
Repeating the plea to extinguish conflicts.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
A distant reference to the future.
I said that I'd stay up all night
Repeating the commitment to staying awake all night.
But you got drunk and I got tired
Again, you got drunk, and I became tired.
So can we just put out these fires?
A plea to end the ongoing conflicts.
And can we just put out these fires
Repeating the desire to put out the fires of discord.
I said that I'd stay up all night
Restating the commitment to stay awake.
But you got drunk and I got tired
Once more, you got drunk, and I got tired.
So can we just put out these fires?
A renewed plea to resolve the ongoing issues.
Just put out these fires
Reiterating the desire to extinguish conflicts.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
A distant reference to the future, echoing earlier lines.
And I said that I'd stay up all night
Committing to staying awake, but lies surface due to intoxication.
But you got drunk and so I lied
You got drunk, and I resorted to deception.
'Cause when you're drunk you just pick fights
Drinking leads to arguments, acknowledging the truth.
And I'd say ""Yeah, I know you're right""
Admitting fault and agreement during intoxicated disputes.
Because I know he cut you deep
Recognizing emotional wounds inflicted by someone else.
And so I watch you fall asleep
Watching you sleep, hoping for positive dreams.
And hope that you might dream of me
Wishing to be present in your dreams instead of another.
I'd hope that you might dream of me
Repeating the hope to be the subject of your dreams.
And not him, not him, not him
Expressing a preference for being in your dreams over someone else.
