wildfire - american aquarium lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ve been on my own
as long as i remember
an ornery stretch of hardwood
content to wait its turn
then you fluttered by
a brightly burning ember
set my world on fire, babe
sat back and watched it burn

[chorus]
a single spark
on the summer plains
ignites the dark
into a field of dancing flames
we gave in
to the simplest of desire
and watched that spark
turn to wildfire
[verse 2]
and then the sky busted open
like the book of revelations
the smell of bulleit rye and brimstone
filled the august air
i never meant for this to happen
clean and utter devastation
a flame that burns this bright, babe
is a flame that don’t burn long

[chorus]
a single spark
on the summer plains
ignites the dark
into a field of dancing flames
we gave in
to the simplest of desire
and watched that spark
turn to wildfire

[verse 3]
so here i am standing
on the site of something tragic
cooled ash and scorched earth
is all that we’ve left to show
and if there’s one thing i’ve learned
there’s a part of death that’s magic
destroying something to make way
for something else to grow
[chorus]
a single spark
on the summer plains
ignites the dark
into a field of dancing flames
we gave in
to the simplest of desire
and watched that spark
turn to wildfire
