Fire at the Hem Lyrics by Maggie Teachout

Maybe I’m Still Just Peter

2019

[Verse 1]
Take your socks off
You always liked the chaos
We’re all monsters here
Only you’ve got broken glass bottles in your hair
I think that we both fell
The moment I heard your name
Once upon a time my hand was held
Once upon a time we were okay
[Chorus]
Sometimes I fall in love with you
But I know you’re not real
Sometimes I fall in love with you
All over again
Sometimes I catch a glimpse of you
Coming through my window
With the taste of gasoline on your tongue
And fire at the hem
[Verse 2]
If time was kind to us
Maybe you wouldn’t use it all at once
You took a day trip
And I got the night shift
I stumbled, so you decided
I didn’t need the ground
If the door is left open
You’re either in or you’re out
[Chorus]
Sometimes I fall in love with you
But I know you’re not real
Sometimes I fall in love with you
All over again
Sometimes I catch a glimpse of you
Coming through my window
With the taste of gasoline on your tongue
And fire at the hem
[Bridge]
Don’t bury me underground, don’t bury me at all
Burn me all to ashes, and the sea is where I’ll go
Don’t bury me under that ground, don’t bury me at all
Burn me all to ashes, and the sea is where I’ll go
[Chorus]
Sometimes I fall in love with you
But I know you’re not real
Sometimes I fall in love with you
All over again
Sometimes I catch a glimpse of you
Coming through my window
With the taste of gasoline on your tongue
And fire at the hem
[Chorus]
Sometimes I fall in love with you
But I know you’re not real
Sometimes I fall in love with you
All over again
Sometimes I catch a glimpse of you
Coming through my window
With the taste of gasoline on your tongue
And fire at the hem
Fire at the hem (ohhh)
Fire at the hem (ohhh)
Fire at the hem (ohhh)
