Starting Fires Lyrics by Stabilo

Starting Fires (Single)

2008

[Verse 1]
I wanted to show you
How to be brave
You just wanted to teach me
How to behave
And it's always

[Chorus]
Julia
Why are we so tired?
I couldn't change
Julia
I've been starting fires
To light your way
I'm burning down this city

[Verse 2]
I feel like a fool
Telling you everything I think
I know is true
I just wanted to save you
From the big lie
That we deserve everything that we have
And it's always

[Chorus]
Julia
Why are we so tired?
I couldn't change
Julia
I've been starting fires
To light your way
I'm burning down this city

[Bridge]
Gasoline blows
Now, I'm coming down
From the mountains in the afternoon
Bathe in the red-orange nuclear glow
And I'm coming down
From the mountain in the afternoon
Bask in the red-orange gasoline show

[Chorus]
Julia
Why are we so tired?
I couldn't change
Julia
I've been starting fires
To light your way

Julia
Why are we so tired?
I couldn't change
Julia
I've been starting fires
To light your way
I'm burning down this city
