Tinder

[Chorus]
Breathing lessons and bleeding poems
Caught in my throat
Oh, if you bring the tinder
I’ll bring the fuel
I’d rather burn this down
Than let it go
Hey, hey

[Verse 1]
Before the grieving
Before the salt water rain
Before the strain sparks the engine
Sending speed to the wheels
Before you’re shedding your skin
And I’m running for the coast
Before my chest is howling
With the songs of your ghost

[Refrain]
You should know
You should know
You should know, me

[Chorus]
How’d we get here? Crime for crime?
It was only my mouth
Oh, if you bring the tinder
I’ll bring the fuel
I’d rather watch this burn
Than let it go
Hey, hey

[Verse 2]
Before the tail spin
Before the miles and miles, and
Before the reeling and the running off the rails
Before the fault lines tremble
Under the weight of the years
And we’re spreading the ashes out in the fields

[Refrain]
You should know
You should know
You should know, me
