Wildfire

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I could never own up

I need to speak up

I don't want to grow up

I don't want to end up caught in a landslide with the other side

Living for the paycheck

Dying for the weekend

Take another Xanax

Cheating on your girlfriend

Taking your last breath

Counting down the time

Don't tell me it's too late

I'm stuck at heaven's gate

Strike a match and start a wildfire

I'll own all my mistakes

Won't give you what you take

Watch you burning in the wildfire

They said I'd never make it

Watching me fall

All the time I wasted

Learning to crawl

From the ashes as this world comes crashing down

Don't tell me it's too late

I'm stuck at heaven's gate

Strike a match and start a wildfire

I'll own all my mistakes

Won't give you what you take

Watch you burning in the wildfire

We want this war

We cursed and swore

They stood no chance at all

The underdogs came home

We want this war

We cursed and swore

They stood no chance at all

I don't forget

I don't forgive

I'll never change the way I live

I always fought the urge to fall in line

I turned my back on all the rules

I'll never heed the king of fools

I'll never lead the perfect kind of life

I don't forget, I don't forgive (We want this war)

I'll never change the way I live (We cursed and swore)

I always fought the urge to fall in line

(They stood no chance at all)

I turned my back on all the rules (We want this war)

I'll never heed the king of fools (We cursed and swore)

I'll never lead the perfect kind of life

(They stood no chance at all)

The underdogs came home
