I’ve been staring jealous at the water
I envy the way it twists and turns
I tried my best to flow right through you
but deep down I’m fire and everything burns

these bodies are just skin and bones
these houses are just sticks and stones
you’d think by now I would have learned
I’m fire and everything burns

Will it be easier when you’re burning?

I envy the way that it moves mountains
Sometimes it takes thousands of years
Cos god knows I’ve made mountains
and I want ‘em gone, and I want it now
I’m fire and everything will burn

Look at you now, you’re think with daddy’s money
you never had a penny that you had to earn
you were the silver dollar boy
and you have the gall to claim you burn
yeah you know heartbreak, well who hasn’t?
the difference being when you cry your tears in four dollar beers
how you ever gonna learn?

I’m jealous of the way it just goes round again
It ends in the ocean but comes back as the rain
If I’m the one who has to leave you first
I wanna be the last thing you hear on your rooftops
I’ll make sure you never burn
