Let's capture a picture, they say it last so much longer
and is worth more words than we could ever say
Point and shoot, take a look, you'd make a nice photo book
yeah, i would look at you every day
I'd keep it on the table, right next to the candle
to the left of the tarot deck, you drew me the star card
Don't tell me what it means, I'll tell you what it means
It means I'm on fire, staring into the dark
We look to the future until it's already over
our predictions and projections all in vain
We laugh at the ending, so good at pretending
Just send me a letter and remember me this way
I'll keep it on the table, right next to the candle
to the left of the tarot deck, you drew me the star card
Don't tell me what it means, I'll tell you what it means
It means I'm on fire, staring into the dark
It means I'm on fire, staring into the dark
It means I'm on fire
It means I'm on fire
Let's take a picture, I hear it lasts so much longer
and is worth more than we say
Let's just go driving, I hear it's all in the timing
but if we try, then we can make time go away
We'll keep it on the table, right next to the candle
to the left of the tarot deck, you drew me the star card
Don't tell me what it means, I'll tell you what it means
It means I'm on fire, staring into the dark
It means I'm on fire, starting into the dark

could tell you where i’ve been
i could tell you how i’ve been sleeping
i could write down a book of spells
that i learned while doing well
but i don’t think you’d believe me
you cut right to the center of me
if i fell down, would it make a sound?
and if i stand tall, would it matter now?
watching the moonrise, on the roof
searching for something, living proof
just to say i’d made it up to you
i'd find the perfect angle
but i don’t think you’d believe me
you cut right to the center of me
if i fell down, would it make a sound?
and if i stand tall, would it matter now?
if i stand tall, would it matter now?
you say you’re over being lied to
acting like i never tried to
but it doesn’t matter much what i do
words are just things we say
i could rent another cabin
just pretend that nothing happened
it wasn’t quite like i imagined
running away
i could tell you that i’m okay
i could tell you
but i don’t think you’d believe me
you cut right to the center of me
if i fell down, would it make a sound?
and if i stand tall, would it matter now?
if i fell down
if i stand tall
