Seven years of rain and ice and snow I gave you my heart but you ran away to Rome We hid our lives behind the covers The story thickens and the plot begins to grow Say it ain't so Pictures of dry land, a heat you did not know Fire in our skin, water to warm to cool We set aside our lives behind the covers The story it thickens and the plot begins to grow Refrain from fire Refrain from fire I tried to stay far from the heat The burning flames took over me And now the fire's in my soul It whispers sparks up through my throat I choke on coals that burn my tongue And taste the memories of what I've done An ember burns right through my chest How can I live in such unrest
