American Aquarium Wildfire Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been on my own
As long as I remember
An ornery stretch of hardwood
Content to wait its turn
Then you fluttered by
A brightly burning ember
Set my world on fire, babe
Sat back and watched it burn

[Chorus]
A single spark
On the summer plains
Ignites the dark
Into a field of dancing flames
We gave in
To the simplest of desire
And watched that spark
Turn to wildfire

[Verse 2]
And then the sky busted open
Like the Book of Revelations
The smell of Bulleit Rye and Brimstone
Filled the August air
I never meant for this to happen
Clean and utter devastation
A flame that burns this bright, babe
Is a flame that don't burn long [Chorus]
A single spark
On the summer plains
Ignites the dark
Into a field of dancing flames
We gave in
To the simplest of desire
And watched that spark
Turn to wildfire

[Verse 3]
So here I am standing
On the site of something tragic
Cooled ash and scorched earth
Is all that we've left to show
And if there's one thing I've learned
There's a part of death that's magic
Destroying something to make way
For something else to grow

[Chorus]
A single spark
On the summer plains
Ignites the dark
Into a field of dancing flames
We gave in
To the simplest of desire
And watched that spark
Turn to wildfire
