Lyrics
Backdraft
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.
Leave me here and lock the door,
Latch the windows, lose the key.
But you'll be back some day.
What else is then is TRUE LOVE for,
if not to starve and wait for spring?
So I'll just sit and wait.
I'll just sit and wait.
Oh, swing the door wide open
show me your jaded eyes.
I will turn them red,
drunk with vivid flame.
You will see again,
and you will learn your real name
Oh, swing the door wide open
show me your jaded eyes.
I will turn them red,
drunk with vivid flame.
You will see again,
and you will learn your real name and speak it.
Leave me with no air to breathe
Leave me here to die alone.
But I won't suffocate.
I'll have everything I need,
when you forget and come back home.
so I'll just sit and wait.
I'll just sit and wait.
Oh, swing the door wide open
show me your jaded eyes.
I will turn them red,
drunk with vivid flame.
You will see again,
and you will learn your real name,
when your whole world turns to fire.
Oh, swing the door wide open
show me your jaded eyes.
I will turn them red,
drunk with vivid flame.
You will see again,
and you will learn your real name,
when your whole world turns to fire,
when your whole world turns to fire,
turns to fire.
