Wildflower Wildfire

Here’s the deal
‘Cause I know you wanna talk about it
Here’s the deal
I promise you like a million tomorrows

Here’s the deal
What I can promise is I’ll lie down
Like a bed of wildflowers
I know hallways make the sheets
Smell like gardenias wild at your feet
And I nourish you hazily

Baby I, I, I, I’ve been running on stardust
Alone for so long
I wouldn’t know what hot fire was
Hot fire, hot weather, hot coffee, I’m better with you
It’s strange but it’s true darling

Not to turn into a wildfire
To light up your night
With only my smile and nothing that burns

Baby I’ll be like a wildflower
I live on sheer willpower
I’ll do my best never to turn into something
That burns, burns, burns
Like the others baby, burns, burns, burns

Here’s the deal
‘Cause I know you wanna talk about it
Here’s the deal
You save those gaps to fill in so here

Here’s the deal
My father never stepped in
When his wife would rage at me
So I ended up awkward but sweet
Later than hospitals and still on my feet
Comfortably numb but with lithium came poetry

And baby I, I’ve been running on startrip
IV’s for so long
I wouldn’t know how cruel the world was
Hot fire, hot weather, hot coffee, I’m better
So I turn but I learn
(It from you babe)

Not to turn into a wildfire
To light up your night
With only my smile and nothing that hurts
Baby I run like a wildflower
I live on sheer willpower
I promise that nothing will burn you
Nothing will burn, burn, burn, burn
Like the others baby, burns, burns, burns
Burn, burn, burn
Like the others baby, burn, burn, burn

It’s you from whom I learn, learn, learn
It’s you from whom I learn, learn, learn
