Switchfoot - Take My Fire Lyrics

Everyday enemy tried to get the best of me
The enemy under my skin
Everyday enemy, my fatal flaw anatomy
Feelin' like I just can't win
Sometimes I wish I didn't feel that much
Sometimes I wish I didn't need that touch
But everyday my enemy pretend to be a friend to me
No matter what state I'm in

But you're never gonna take my fire
I cannot not be tamed
No, you're never gonna take my fire
It's burning in my veins
Ay! You say the world is changing
But I still burn the same
No, you're never gonna take my fire
Take my fire
Oh, let me burn now

Yeah, the safety that you're sellin' me, one day be the death of me
A face like you just saw ghosts
Images on the box again, taking up all the oxygen
Tell me how we sunk this low
Ain't it coming, ain't the end in sight
To steal it back like a thief in the night
There's my own sworn enemy, faking and pretend to be
A wolf in a sheepskin coat

But you're never gonna take my fire
In spite of all your rain
No, you're never gonna take my fire
It's burning in my veins
Ay! You say the world is changing
But I still burn the same
No, you're never gonna take my fire
Take my fire

Because
I'm a fighter, a soul all-nighter
I'ma recognize the truth, I'ma recognize a liar
You're never gonna take my fire
True beginner, a loser and a winner
Part Saint, part sinner
And all of me desire
You're never gonna take my fire
I'm a giver, a one-arrow quiver
I've been sending my regrets
Down the river of fire
You're never gonna take my, my fire
A loose, live wire
I'm a one-shot rocket aiming higher and higher
And higher

'Cause you're never gonna take my fire
Ay! No, you're never gonna take my fire, oh, oh
The ancient flame lit the spark back before I was young
When I'm speaking with the fire, it's my native tongue
No, you're never gonna take my fire
Take my fire
Let me burn now
