In rivulets the paper set The water rushed and tumbled All around our feet It was an inch deep in the street It started in a factory A block of flame A knot of smoke all gnarled and black And the heat that pushed us back And this This is the same fire And this This is the same fire And i was there when the rain came When the wind and wet and ashes Made me speckled black And so i ran the five blocks back And when you came to the door And you let me in Its like i saw you for the very first time again You were beautiful Goddamn you were beautiful And this This is the same fire And this This is the same fire And this This is the same fire That you light in me That you light in me That you light in me That you light in me The white house 1814 Moscow 1812 San francisco after the earthquake I loved you then as well The library of alexandria And all of rome at least twice And i know this is the biggest blaze Ive ever seen in my entire life A million firefighters And 99 alarms An ocean full of water I will burn through it all unharmed I will burn through it all unharmed I will burn through it all unharmed For you Youre so beautiful Goddamn youre so beautiful This, this is the same fire This, this is the same fire This, this is the same fire that you light in me This, this is the same fire that you light in me This, this is the same fire that you light in me This, this is the same fire that you light in me
fire, unharmed, light, beautiful, goddamn
