[Verse 1]
Started as a simple lie, thinking love had chose us
We would talk into the night and nobody noticed
And I held on to every word
Couldn't let you go and called it hope
Now I’m so low, I can't ignore
We only ever made it worse
[Chorus]
Then we become a brush fire, burnin' all the pain
How can we survive a desert without rain?
And all along, your promise is that you’re changin'
Boy, you know what to say, before I turn away
Your words hit me like a hard rain in LA
[Verse 2]
Scared to turn and look behind, think I'd see you hurtin'
And even when I close my eyes, I feel like the burden (Oh)
But I'm not yours anymore
Everything you broke is ash and smoke
Now I'm so low, I can't ignore
We only ever made it worse
[Chorus]
Then we become a brush fire, burnin' all the pain
How can we survive a desert without rain?
And all along, your promise is that you’re changin’
Boy, you know what to say, before I turn away
Your words hit me like a hard rain in LA
[Bridge]
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm
[Chorus]
We become a brush fire, burnin' all the pain
How can we survive a desert without rain?
And all along, your promise is that you’re changin'
Boy, you know what to say, before I turn away
Your words hit me like a hard rain in LA
Brush Fire was written by Tobias Jesso Jr. & Blake Slatkin & Gracie Abrams.
Brush Fire was produced by Blake Slatkin.
Gracie Abrams released Brush Fire on Thu Dec 10 2020.
I wanted this song to come out before the end of the year because it feels kind of like a bookend. There are new feelings and new sounds that come with the new music. ‘Brush Fire’ felt it needed to live closer to ‘minor’. Like neighbors.
