Firefighter Lyrics by Dream Version

Beginners

2015

[Verse]
Head first, set out to paint the universe
Don't you think you ought a paint the corners first
So you won't cry when the pain dries
And the colors are off

[Verse]
You went to ten years of school
Learning to fit inside hand-me-down shoes
Some things can be taught a child
Some things cannot

[Chorus]
If you can't fight fire, then why would you be a fire fighter
If you can't fly high, then why would you be a mountain climber
If it's not inside then why would you even attempt to

[Verse]
Head first, impostor, pretender
Head first, back to bed
The odds of being exposed increase
Hourly, daily
Run, run, run, run away

[Chorus]
'Cus if you can't fight fire, then why would you be a fire fighter
If you can't right type, then why would you be a typewriter
[?] haunt your mind then why would you even attempt to
[?]

[Bridge]
You audition for a character
The audition becomes your life
And if you fail, everything's derailed
So first (first) try (try)
Better get it right

[Chorus]
And if you can't fight fire, then why would you be a fire fighter
If you can't tell lies, then why would you be a song writer
If it's not inside then why would you even attempt to

[Outro]
No, he's starting to suspect you, coming to get you
Starting to suspect you, coming to get you
Starting to suspect you, coming to get you
Starting to suspect you, coming to get you
Starting to suspect you, coming to get you
Starting to suspect you, coming to get you
Starting to suspect you, coming to get you
Starting to suspect you, coming to get you
Starting to suspect you, coming to get you
Starting to suspect you, coming to get you
