Reboot version! First single from the forthcoming album, "Nearby," being released on October 5, 2018.

lyrics

There was a fire, cross that fairway from our home
The kid was a liar, he had started it on his own alone
With hairspray and a lighter, burnin’ bugs up in the eves
The fire department couldn’t get there leaving only ash and grief

Oh the hours, sitting up there on the roof
We were inspired by the sunset and the folly of our youth
We started slippin’ backward, grasping desperately at straw
Crying out to Jesus cause a myth was what we saw

Easter morning felt so holy, God I swear I’d made it through
At the sound of a cracked bell, oh the hand I brushed was you
Ashes in the garden, growing hops and holly-hocks
Answers in the roses, and the aspen leaves that dropped

There was a fire, again, in a dream I had last night
You were beside me and your eyes were shining bright
Woke up in a cold sweat
I was searching for first light
We had been rubbing sticks together
Goddamn did they ignite

There was a fire, cross the fairway from our home
The bastard was a liar, he had started it alone.
