Slide Away

I still remember when the flame was brand new
We'd stay warm from the heat with nothing else to do
I still remember but
Lately the flames have fallen
Tried to bring me down with them
You pulled me out alive from the dying embers
Now there's a thrill at the end of the hill
I had a few friends who went there for a spell
The stories pulled me close, yeah, but
Lately I've grown tired of looking back at night
Wondering why
You pulled me out alive from the dying embers
One night I heard the fire call my name
I felt myself moving closer to the flame
Oh, I felt the heat, yeah, but
Soon the flames were falling
Couldn't bring me down with them
You pulled me out alive from the dying embers
