Bonfire

The rain is on his head
And my love is out on the ledge
Get to the bonfire and get undressed

My boots are caked with clay
These clothes are loose
And my appetite's gone
We'll throw them in the bonfire where we belong

All of us shaking
Wounded and naked
Like a sunburned kiss
We are changing
Fighting for the same thing
With the light that lifts

And I wanna know you for the way you are
Not the way I am
So let's go now
Back to the bonfire where we began

I slope back into my tinted shade
To shake out the vertigo
You know, the only one who got any sleep last night was
A grumpy volcano

Up before the drunks come home
With sleep still in out eyes
To see another bonfire bleed in the sky

All of us shaking
Wounded and naked
Like a sunburned kiss
We are changing
Fighting for the same thing
With the light that lifts

And I wanna know you for the way you are
Not the way I am
So let's go now
Back to the bonfire where we began
Back to the bonfire where we began

I remember you were there, holding up the universe
I watched the wind playing with your hair
And that love had run it's course
Why's there only one word for love and all it's beautiful curses?

All of us shaking
Wounded and naked
Like a sunburned kiss
We are changing
Fighting for the same thing
With the light that lifts

And I wanna know you for the way you are
Not the way I am
So let's go now
Back to the bonfire where we began
Back to the bonfire where we began
Back to the bonfire where we began
