You must be living on wildfires
You must be living on wildfires
Thats why your eyes
are smoke and ash
You must be living on earthquakes
You must be living on earthquakes
Must be why my heart breaks
everytime you pass
Oh no matter how I try
I just watch you blow by
In a lens
Ahh-ahh-ah-ah-ah
You must be living on front lines
You must be living on front lines
Must be why sometimes
I cant get past
You must be living on land mines
You must be living on land mines
Must be why your crying
broken glass
Oh no matter how I try
I gotta watch you blow by
in a lens
Ohhh-ohh-ohhhhh
With all your living on landslides
With all your living on flood tides
Its a wonder how you rise
above all that
Oh no matter how I try
I gotta watch you blow by
in a lens
Yeah no matter how I try
I gotta watch you blow by
in a lens
