First Fires Lyrics by Bonobo

The North Borders

2013

[Verse 1]
How do you see if the dream is gone?
Fading fires, moving on
Why do you need it, when the waves come?
Over you, to undertow

[Chorus 1]
Honestly, I can't believe it's burning again
Like the first fires
Running for defences, you don't have to pretend
In the first fires

[Verse 2]
And if you can find it, don't let go
Hold it tight, keep it close
Don't even fight it, when the leaves fall
Over me, this heavy load

[Chorus 1]
Honestly, I can't believe it's burning again
Like the first fires
Running for defences, you don't have to pretend
In the first fires

[Chorus 2]
And all your memories are caught in the wind
Of the first fires
Honestly, I can't believe it's burning again
Like the first fires
Like the first fires

[Outro]
Honestly, I can't believe it's burning again
Honestly, I can't believe it's burning again
Like the first fires
