There's a man
Far from here 
Who made sure 
to stay well clear 
of taking hold or letting go, 
always choosing not to know

But then his bridges burned
Sometimes still he stops and turns,
listening to open skies 
for broken words and severed ties

And I believe that wordless call 
he hears sometimes 
could reach us all

I stayed for so long 
where dream and day collide
Now I'm on fire

There's a girl, 
one I know, 
who wrapped up her heart in snow
Much too proud and much too vain, 
she thought she could hide her pain 
in that clean and crispy chill
To this day, she feels it still
Once frozen to the core, 
she's not who she was before

And I believe that chilling cold 
she feels sometimes 
could touch us all

I stayed for so long 
where dream and day collide
Now I'm on fire

Let it freeze, let it burn
Someday soon it is your turn 
to fall down as others fell
As they wept, you will as well
