Backfire Lyrics by Lauren Davidson

2021

[Verse 1]
Before this life gets good
Before I'm understood
I know it gets a little harder
And when it breaks my heart
I keep my eyes beyond the stars
'Cause I wanna go farther
May be a bridge that I'm burnin'
But I know it's worth it

[Chorus]
I light the match and wait for the backfire
Watch it burn so fast, feel the flames grow higher
With every breath that I'm holdin'
I'm holdin' out for my moment
I light the match and wait for the backfire
Wait for the backfire
Wait for the backfire

[Verse 2]
I know it's hard to see
And it may sound a little crazy
But I need to start over
Before thе smokes fades and it turns to ashes
I'm in thе middle with a new set of matches
That's how I'm getting closure

[Chorus]
I light the match and wait for the backfire
Watch it burn so fast, feel the flames grow higher
With every breath that I'm holdin'
I'm holdin' out for my moment
I light the match and wait for the backfire
Wait for the backfire
Wait for the backfire

[Bridge]
For every scar on the outside
When the good and the bad collide
I get to decide
I get to decide

[Chorus]
I light the match and wait for the backfire
Watch it burn so fast, feel the flames grow higher
I'll light the match and wait for the backfire
Watch it burn so fast, feel the flames grow higher
With every breath that I'm holdin'
I'm holdin' out for my moment
I light the match and wait for the backfire
Wait for the backfire
Wait for the backfire
Wait for the backfire
Wait for the backfire
Wait for the backfire

[Outro]
Before this life gets good
Before I'm understood
I know it gets a little harder
