they tell you where you need to go
they tell you when you need to leave
they tell you what you need to know
they tell you who you need to be

but everything inside
you knows theres more than what youve heard
theres so much more than empty conversations
filled with empty words

and youre on fire when hes near you
youre on fire when he speaks
youre on fire burning at these mysteries

give me one more time around
give me one more chance to see
give me everything you are
give me one more chance to be near you

when everything inside me
looks like everything i hate
you are the hope i have for change
you are the only chance ill take

and im on fire when youre near me
im on fire when you speak
im on fire burning at these mysteries.
