A Fire Only We Know - House Of Heroes

Only we know the quiet roads and the vacant malls

Or the cool of perfect darkness just outside the sprawl

Only we heard the drums pumping in the stadium

And built our truths like fires

In the promised land where we come from

And when you look now in my eyes

Do you see the boy that swore on every inch of you

Our light would never die

Is a bravery inside me

Still clinging to my clothes

Like smoke from a fire only we know

Only we know how good your daddy’s records sound

Or just how far a fall it is from the window to the ground

Only we smell the rain just before it comes

And think first of each other

Every time we’re burned by love

When I look now in your eyes

I still see the thing that made us lions

The thing that made us free

And the bravery inside you

Still clinging to your clothes

Like smoke from a fire only we know

Like smoke, like smoke, like smoke

Like smoke, like smoke, like smoke from a fire only we know

And think first of each other

Every time we’re burned by love

And when you look now in my eyes

Do you see the boy that swore on every inch of you

Our light would never die

Is a bravery inside me

Still clinging to my bones

Like smoke from a fire only we know

Like smoke from a fire only we know

Like smoke from a fire only we know
