there was a fire burning in us

we put it out with alcohol and cigarettes

we put it out with late nights

and *** fights

we put it out with our bodies making love under starlight

oh and how that fire burned

while we yearned

for forbidden things our parents never tell.

there was a fire burning in us, and we walked through hell.

there was a fire burning,

in our eyes you saw it glimmering

ya we threw up,

but we grew up,

and now the fire’s only simmering.
