All the things I wanted to say
Caught in my throat like a wild animal
Trying to break the chains
The stories we hold in our bones
The secrets and the memories
The geography of home
Let's light a fire in the dead of night
Sing like we've never sung
Then think ourselves away
In the wounded morning light
To set free the bird
Flightless in our chests
Listen to her sing her sunrise song
But tomorrows already come and gone
All the wolves we kept from our minds
Were there all along in the teeth of the night
Preying on our borrowed time
Come let's light a fire in the dead of night
Sing like we've never sung
Then think ourselves away
In the naked morning light
To set free the bird
Flightless in our chests
Listen to her sing her sunrise song
But tomorrows already come and gone
When old lights
Shine on something new
And the writing on the wall
Is the one we have our backs turned to
If we tear out these pages
And burn them all through
We could light a fire in the dead of night
Sing like we've never sung
Then think ourselves away
At the crazy break of day
To set free the bird
Flightless in our chests
Listen to her sing her sunrise song
But tomorrows already come and gone
Tomorrows already come and gone
Tomorrows already come and gone
