The crackling fire dances in your eyes
I can't touch the fire
But I could drown there
Lost in your eyes
The only darkness I don't fear
The only shadows I want to pull near
The fire that lights them
Is all the illumination I need
I thought that love wasn't made for people like us
It couldn't find us, couldn't bind us,
Couldn't give us a home
But when
The crackling fire dances in your eyes
I see I was wrong
I know my way home
Here in your arms
The only heaven I can go
The only dreams of forever I'll know
The hope that ignites them
Is all the inspiration I need
I thought that the emptiness would swallow us whole
I thought it would take us, thought it would break us
But we never let go
Because
The crackling fire dances in your eyes
Lighting the darkness
Guiding our way back home
Held in our hearts
The only peace that we will know
The safest place that we will ever go
The love that unites them
Is all the exultation we need
I thought that our dreams would break before they’d bend
I thought they could save us, thought they would make us
Our dreams aren't broken
They're free
The crackling fire dances in your eyes
I can't touch the fire
But I could drown there
Lost in your eyes
The only darkness I don't fear
The only shadows I want to pull near
Our souls will defy them
There's no more trepidation or tears
I thought that our demons would destroy us all
I thought they would take you, thought they would break me
But we're ending them all
With love
