Firefight

Jimmy Eat World · Chase This Light [2007]

This is where our diligence has lead

The waves roll in to claim our patient steps

Can we become more than just ourselves?

And leave the sand our want, our will, our doubt



It's firefight, and I, I won't run

There's spit and spite all through my blood

For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide

Except you and me, there's no one else alive



This is now the moment after next

Are these still the eyes of a temptress

Why open the door if you won't go?

Don't ask twice if you don't wanna know



It's firefight, and I, I won't run

There is spit and spite all through my blood

For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide

Except you and me, there's no one else alive



Is there an answer?

And if it's an honest one, honestly worth its question

There's no question

The city as my witness (the city as my witness)

I am who I wanna be, but you could be anything (you could be anything)

Just be anything here with me



Love is quartz and breath the secondhand

If you let go then that's where time will stand



It's firefight, and I, I won't run

There is spit and spite all through my blood

For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide

Except you and me, there's no one else alive



It's firefight, and I, I won't run

There is spit and spite all through my blood

For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide

Except you and me, there's no one else alive
