[Intro]
Right, um, so this next song is called "Spark"
And uh, it's basically about, I feel like, I feel like life's in chapters
And um, getting, I don't know, feeling reminiscent can sometimes be a bad thing
Because you keep yourself in the last chapter
And I feel like it's all about, um
I don't know, you know, in like movies when people have those breakups and they put everything into the fire and they go, "And it's a new dawn" and blah, blah, blah
I feel like that's a healthy thing sometimes to just move on and just be like "That was that, and this is now"
And uh, the lyrics of this chorus, uh, you know, "We'll build a fire and we'll torch our old life and hope the original spark of what made it amazing survives" and we'll just move on from it
But uh, yeah, this is "Spark"
[Verse 1]
We've been lost for a long time
In a rut, no escape signs
And, for love, we were so blind
Oh, I hate to see you cry
There've been times where the truth lied
Now, it's clear as a blue sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Like a Band-Aid over deeper cuts, we tried
We couldn't stop the fate descending on the night
[Chorus]
We'll build a fire and torch our old lives
And hope the spark survives
Use words as kindling, light up the night sky
Let the memories take flight
And hope the spark survives
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, we hope the spark survives
[Verse 2]
Oh, I wonder, will we pull through?
All we ever do is argue
With not a lot, but we make do
How I wish you wouldn't say that
There are things you can't take back
When you leave, I always face facts
[Pre-Chorus]
Like a hand that's trying to hold the water back
We couldn't stop the ocean leaking in the cracks
[Chorus]
We'll build a fire and torch our old lives
And hope the spark survives
Use words as kindling, light up the night sky
Let the memories take flight
And hope the spark survives
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, we hope the spark survives
[Bridge]
We've taken roads
That led to confusion
But right now, it don't matter at all (Na-na)
We'll bring it back
Our love's no illusion
The higher we go, the harder we fall, and now
[Chorus]
We'll build a fire and torch our old lives
And hope the spark survives
Use words as kindling, light up the night sky
Let the memories take flight
And hope the spark survives
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, we hope the spark survives
And we hope the spark survives
