Ina Wroldsen - Fires Lyrics

I'm gathering wood, I'm cutting down trees
I'm keeping it dry like my father taught me
I'm doing fake smiles, it's inevitable
Matter of time, then you're gonna leave me
And I am all for preparation
I'm well aware, so I prepare for separation
I'm gathering wood, I'm cutting down trees

'Cause I'ma light fires
So when you're lost, you look for embers
You look for ashes
Yes, I'ma light fires
So when you're lost, you just you remember
To look for matches
Every time the darkness gets too black
Every time you find yourself off track
Then I'ma light fires
So you can find me
I'ma light fires

I'm gathering stones, I'm marking out lines
I'm steeling myself like my mother taught me
I know that farewell is inevitable
Matter of time, then you're gonna break free
And I'm all for preparation
I'm well aware, so I prepare for separation
I'm gathering stones, I'm marking out lines

'Cause I'ma light fires
So when you're lost, you look for embers
You look for ashes (you look for ashes)
Yes, I'ma light fires
So when you're lost, you just you remember
To look for matches (to look for matches)
Every time the darkness gets too black
Every time you find yourself off track
Then I'ma light fires
So you can find me
I'ma light fires

Oh, fires
I'ma light fires, I'ma light fires (oh)
Like, oh, I'ma light fires

Every time the darkness gets too black
Every time you find yourself off track
Then I'ma light fires
So you can find me
I'ma light fires

'Cause I'ma light fires
So when you're lost, you look for embers
You look for ashes
Yes, I'ma light fires
So when you're lost, you just remember
To look for matches
Every time the darkness gets too black
Every time you find yourself off track
Then I'ma light fires
So you can find me
I'ma light fires
