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
