Missy Higgins - Set Me On Fire lyrics

rate me

I got a lot to say I just don't know how to say it

I know all the rules I just can't seem to play it

You can tick the boxes

Follow the equation

But the knife won't budge until you learn patience

I got notes to sing I just can't reach the words

They're out on a ledge in the dark with the birds

But I'm trying to find them inside of you

Take my brain and break it in two

Melody, you're the only one who saves me

Out of the cold you take me

(Set me on fire)

Save me

(Set me on fire)

Melody, all I want is to remember

What came before this winter?

(Set me on fire)

Save me

Set me on fire

I got a rock between my heart and my mouth

I know how it got there but I can't pull it out

And the bones that once moved my fingers over keys

Are protesting in a fist on my knees

Gotta find a way to unzip my skin

Cause this is a stranger's I'm living in

Oh... (what came before the winter?)

Set me on fire

Oh...

Melody, you're the only one who saves me

Out of the cold you take me

And set me on fire

You set me on fire

Melody, all I want is to remember

What came before this winter?

(Set me on fire)

Oh save me

Set me on fire

Melody you're the only one who saves me oooh...

Set me on fire
