we  used to act like we were ten  years old
sittin’  on rooftops in the morning  cold
and  we pointed at the city,
though  we'd never be so bold
and  all i needed was a hand  to hold.
it's  a somewhat addictive state  of mind
to  always be hoping for another glimpse  inside
and  even though i  know you're telling  everybody else
i  can still think that i heard it  first.
Because  I need  a friend  and  i can pretend
that you  might need one  too.
Because  I've done  too much traveling  alone
and  I'm too goddamn  far  from home.
I  think I'm mostly flesh.  I think  you're mostly bone.
I  am made  of fire;  you're  made of stone.
i  thought you might be my someone in  the sand.
i  thought i might be something you needed
like  a good friend.
but  you can keep your distance,
i  guess i'll understand.
no  one really wants a fire  on their hands.
So  let's climb the flagpole!
See  how high we get before we fall.
Let's  meet in the belltower.
If  we can ever get up there at all.
And  we can watch the gears turn.
Because  a stone will crack before it burns.
Still  a fire never learns.
