Firewalker lyrics
by Pete Yorn
[Verse 1]
My hopes are like embers lying
Around inside a fire bed
Your mind is a firewalker
It steps on them like they are dead but
[Chorus]
I can grow
In spite of all you know
You might not
Recognize me tomorrow
Yes, I can change
In spite of all they say
Become something strange
And beautiful
Like joy
Like joy
[Verse 2]
Me, I'm like a wild flame
That catches on whatever's near
But your mind is a firewalker
It sets its course and never veers
[Chorus]
But I can grow
In spite of all you know
You might not
Recognize me tomorrow
Yes, I can change
In spite of all they say
Become something strange
And beautiful
Like joy
Like joy
[Bridge]
Take offers from every side
And give my attentions
About anywhere
Well do I recognize my actions
I look like I'm so unaware
Like I don't care
[Chorus]
But I can grow
In spite of all you know
You might not
Recognize me tomorrow
Yes, I can change
In spite of all they say
Become something strange
And beautiful
Like joy
Like joy
