Fire Lyrics
[Refrain]
That's what I wanted
It's not as if we cry a river, call it rain
West Memphis is on fire in the light of day
Give me something, it ain't enough
It ain't enough
I take it for granted
If I could love you unconditionally
I could iron out the edges of the darkest sky
For some of us, it ain't enough
It ain't enough
[Verse]
And I take off driving
Past places, been tainted
I put on a good show for you
And when I turn back around
Will you drain me back out?
Will you let me believe that I broke through?
Tomorrow could feel like a hundred years later
I'm wiser and slow and attuned
And I am down on my knees
I'm a bird in the trees
I can learn to see with a partial view
I can learn to be easy as I move in close to you
[Refrain]
And that's what I wanted
It's not as if we cry a river, call it rain
West Memphis is on fire in the light of day
Give me something, it ain't enough
It ain't enough
I take it for granted
If I could love you unconditionally
I could iron out the edges of the darkest sky
For some of us, it ain't enough
It ain't enough (Oh)
[Outro]
(Oh)
(Oh)
(Oh)

What did Waxahatchee say about "Fire"?
The idea and melody for “Fire” was dreamt up while driving over the Mississippi River from Memphis into West Memphis, AR, sun reflecting off the water which literally made West Memphis glow. The song’s written by me, to myself. It’s about the internal dialogue of shame surrounding mistakes you’ve ma...
What else have the artists said about this song?
Memphis is right between Birmingham and Kansas City, where I live currently. So to drive between the two, you have to go through Memphis, over the Mississippi River, and it’s epic. That trip brings up all kinds of emotions—it feels sort of romantic and poetic. I was driving over and had this idea fo...
