How To Start A Fire

under the covers, it was like a puzzle falling into place,
pieces of you attached to pieces of me and we're floating in space
watching stars explode with every kiss
and planets fall extinct with every "oh... miss..."

it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
stay up so i can bring you down
(and it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back)
stay wired so i can calm you down
stay tight so i can ring you out

under the blankets we shared all our secrets
"nothing can hurt us here"
too bad we're both just liars, and sinners
and i was just a vessel for your sixth
"so oh, go see him, miss..."

it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
stay up so i can bring you down
(and it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back)
stay wired so i can calm you down
(and it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back)
stay tight so i can ring you out

if our mouths were missles we'd be locked away
if our hands were razors we'd cut through our names
our bodies were weapons and we're designed
to bring this place down, cross all the lines
just to get to you, to you, to you
(to bring this place down, cross all the lines)
i hope this gets to you, to you, to you
(to bring this place down, cross all the lines...)

stay up so i can bring you down
(dreams only last one night)
i just want to hold you down
(dreams only last one night)
stay up so i can bring you down
(dreams only last one night)
i just want to hold you down

i'll hang from your words,
your faded breath
fall to my knees whenever she says
compliment the mess with baby's breath
i'll hang from your words,
your faded breath
fall to my knees whenever she says
compliment the mess with baby's breath

it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
stay up so i can bring you down
(and it's a long drive, long drive)
stay wired so i can calm you down
(and it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back)
stay tight so i can ring you out

it's a long drive back, it's a long drive back
(and i hope this gets to you, to you)
stay up so i can bring you down
(cuz it's a long drive back, it's a long drive...)
stay wired so i can calm you down
(and i hope this gets to you, to you,)
stay tight so i can ring you out
(cuz it's a long drive...)
