Friends and Fires Lyrics

I drove up to Hillside again

Thought maybe I could see something

Found dust and dirt, but no good friends

Wind drives the leaves, my chest is crushing

And over there, we had spent nights

Fighting flames and flaming fire

That girl, gone and melted away

After all she's no one's liar

We talked of auras and books

Walking words, locking looks

Until Francis made that joke

Those fires went out, no smoke

No smoke

Melodic notes were different then

Hot on the air, borne once again

Drilled to the bone and through the root

Lost sight of both our why and when

I walked long roads, years since then

Built scars, lost stars, I felt staples rend

I fled the town, the state, my friends

And yet it seems those nights won't end

We talked of auras and books

Walking words, locking looks

Until Tim's luck up and broke

Those fires went out, no smoke

No smoke

No smoke

I drove up to Hillside again

Thought maybe I could see something

I found dust and dirt, but no good friends

Wind drives the leaves, my chest is crushing

And over there, we'd had that fight

Over flames and wildfires

I'd said that I'd run away

But after all, you know I'm a liar

We talked of auras and books

Walking words, locking looks

Until Sarah's dad's bad stroke

Those fires went out, no smoke

No smoke

No smoke

Now Francis, he's still finding his way

And Tim sees the path to healing

Now Sarah, she don't do much but pray

To each their own way of dealing

To each our own way of dealing

To each our own way of dealing

To each our own way

To each our own way

To each
