Max Sharam - Can I Catch Fire? lyrics

rate me

Has The Fire arrived in town yet?<br />

You haven't seen him well I can't miss my jet<br />

All I've left is my ticket and song<br />

So if you see him, I've gone.<br />

Our patterns crossed the desert<br />

Like snaketracks in the sand<br />

We entwined for nights, a lifespan<br />

And four years of travelling traced my ideal<br />

And I knew it was he when he carried me<br />

From my perch on the windowsill<br />

<br />

My Nightingale sing, that's what he said<br />

When he layed me down on the big feather bed<br />

And he loved me for hours, for on and forever<br />

My desert red lion, you're ever so clever<br />

Can I keep your fire burning<br />

With the spark in my eye?<br />

Can I leave even once without saying goodbye?<br />

<br />

Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)<br />

Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)<br />

Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)<br />

Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)<br />

<br />

So I pushed those four years on the<br />

Trolley to check in (I pushed back the tears)<br />

"I've gone," so go, forget him<br />

It seemed all we ever said was goodbye<br />

We'd meet and we would ponder<br />

Then we'd wonder why<br />

But as I sat in the room for the waiting<br />

Patiently, anticipating<br />

I bent down to whisper the word<br />

And he had purchased a ticket to fly with his bird<br />

<br />

My Nightingale sing, that's what he said<br />

When he layed me down on the big feather bed<br />

"And I'm yours for as long as you want me" he said<br />

Well I've been yours since the feather bed<br />

<br />

Can I catch fire? <br />

Can I catch fire? (Burning inside)<br />

Can I catch fire? <br />

Can I catch fire? (I'm burning inside)<br />

<br />

Well the desert has sandstorms<br />

And whirlwinds and sun and patterns<br />

Snakes make in the sand when they run<br />

<br />

Well the desert has sandstorms<br />

And whirlwinds and sun and patterns<br />

Snakes make in the sand when they run<br />

<br />

Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)<br />

Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)<br />

Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)<br />

Can I catch fire? (Can I catch fire)<br />

<br />

I'm burning inside<br />

<br />

Well fireman, fireman, call the fireman<br />

I'm gonna BURN<br />

Burning inside<br />

<br />

Can I catch fire?<br />

<br />

"My Nightingale," that's what he said<br />

<br />

Can I catch fire?
