Lyrics
I stretch my arms
The singer metaphorically extends their arms
To a familiar space spreading in front of me
Describes a familiar or known space ahead
Then I draw and open my hands
The singer gestures and opens their hands
In my hands, a tiny fire is flickering
They hold a small, flickering fire
Can you see it? can you feel it?
Asking if the listener can perceive or sense it
I close my eyes
The singer shuts their eyes
To the shining stars fading away from me
Refers to disappearing shining stars
So I stop and change direction
Deciding to alter their path
In my life, the burning that begun is holding me
A change that started in their life is holding them
Can you see it? can you feel it?
Asking if the listener can perceive or sense this change
Even in a dying fire, it's comforting enough for me
Even a dying fire offers comfort
The space is spreading out so far in front of me
The expanse in front of the singer is vast
I try to stretch my arms for a little bit
The singer attempts to reach out momentarily
Light up like a growing fire
Comparing self-growth to a spreading fire
My heart is filled with change and darkness
Heart filled with change and darkness
So I come to see something I couldn't see before
Discovering something previously unseen
I come to feel something I couldn't feel at all
Experiencing something previously unfelt
Light up like a growing fire
Reiteration of personal growth likened to a fire
And my heart is filled with the warmth and the brightness
Heart filled with warmth and brightness
I come to see something I couldn't see before
Discovering something previously unseen
I come to feel something I couldn't feel at all
Experiencing something previously unfelt
