Fires on the lake, two shadows on the shore

Intro

Rip-ply water catching the light of a fire

Verse 1

Ice melting from your collarbone

Bare legs tracing the lake's edge

Soot rings on your fingers moving slow

We used to believe that we'd be older by now

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it, can you see the start?

Every flame on this water burning in the dark

Chorus

Fires on the lake, two shadows on the shore

Burning where the ice was before

We're not running from what we've been told

Our hearts are gold, the flames stay cold

Verse 2

You throw a stone and I watch it land

Pristine circle on an endless stand of pine

I tell you stories that our parents won't allow

You laugh in the silence, there's nothing to prove

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it, can you see the start?

Every flame on this water burning in the dark

Chorus

Fires on the lake, two shadows on the shore

Burning where the ice was before

We're not running from what we've been told

Our hearts are gold, the flames stay cold

Bridge

Maybe it's true that time won't slow down for us

But I don't want this feeling to be just a summer rust

If you see me waning when the light comes up in three weeks

Know that it's not because of who we used to be

Chorus

Fires on the lake, two shadows on the shore

Burning where the ice was before

We're not running from what we've been told

Our hearts are gold, the flames stay cold
