A LITTLE FIRE
The first thing a lot of people do after a breakup is cut
their hair, move their furniture around, leave on a trip or let
some other big change accompany the change to single
life. This clean slate they experience is often compared to
a little spark of energy you feel when you are forced to let
go of something. Change is a powerful thing and can be
transformed into something positive really fast. This song
is about new beginnings, change, letting go and selfconfidence.
lyrics
A LITTLE FIRE
I left feeling a little lighter
I left feeling a little fire
I don’t need your heavens upon my shoulders
I left feeling a little older
I charge myself untill I’m electric
Coat myself in a sticky cement
I’m gonna stick to anything warm and fuzzy
Untill it covers all the sharp edges on me
Although, although, although
Even, even so I hurt now
I’ll feel nothing, nothing
someday now that you’re gone
I left dreaming a little bigger
I’m back needing a little less of everything
while you melt to liquid nothing
I will try to wash you away with the rain
I bat my lashes to the unknowing
blow my kisses but they keep flowing
they don’t stick to anyone who can show me how the world works when you are feeling lonely
Although, although, although
Even, even so I hurt now
I’ll feel nothing, nothing
someday now that you’re gone
I got patience, I got heart
I got lights when it gets dark
and they will guide me, light a fire
They surround me tonight
