Fireplace Flicker（バージョン2）

Verse 1

Palm trees shivering where the fireplace used to be

Soft focus on a Polaroid I just found of me and you

Sweater's still in the closet with a button that won't stay

I'm not supposed to touch things that were left behind today

Your grandmother kept saying 'hold it close, don't let it fade

But this whole town got quieter after you walked away

Pre-Chorus

Is this what they mean by bittersweet?

A warmth still moving where your shadow used to be

Chorus

Fireplace flicker on a winter's day

Every glow I'm holding turned to gray

Holding onto something that went warm and bright

Still warm, but it don't feel right

So the fireplace keeps burning, night after night

Trying to keep your heat from slipping out of sight

Verse 2

Snowflakes falling soft where we used to dance in the rain

I find a photograph with me smiling on a different page

The coffee machine still rings when I turn it low

And I'm not sure if this memory belongs to now or then I know

Your mother keeps saying 'don't be a stranger here

But nothing about it feels quite the same as we used to hear

Pre-Chorus

Is this what they mean by bittersweet?

A warmth still moving where your shadow used to be

Chorus

Fireplace flicker on a winter's day

Every glow I'm holding turned to gray

Holding onto something that went warm and bright

Still warm, but it don't feel right

So the fireplace keeps burning, night after night

Trying to keep your heat from slipping out of sight

Bridge

Some of these things are just not meant to stay

This light inside me knows I'm still okay

I'll hold this feeling until the flame runs low

And maybe it don't burn the way we thought it would glow

Maybe that's okay because when it starts to fade

I found a love inside me that the winter days couldn't shade

Chorus

Fireplace flicker on a winter's day

Every glow I'm holding turned to gray

Holding onto something that went warm and bright

Still warm, but it don't feel right

So the fireplace keeps burning, night after night

Trying to keep your heat from slipping out of sight
