There was a fire in the kitchen,
There was fire in my soul.
You might call it something different,
But I've been burning
Since I was born,
Since I was born.
It was a family at the table,
It was a bird inside my throat.
There were questions I was asking,
Too afraid to speak the words.
Don't look up now,
Don't look up now,
Until it's time.
It was a moment of surrender,
Her hands were soft, and I did go.
I chose cages over meadows,
I kept that fire burning cold.
Don't look up now,
Don't look up now,
Until it's time.
We were wild, and we were hungry
Settled down all civilized.
Burning only for a break from
All the weight of compromise.
Don't look up now,
Don't look up now,
Don't look up now,
Don't look up now,
Until it's time.
There was a train outside the junkyard
Sitting frozen, paralyzed,
Looking far outside the window,
Hoping only to see light.
Don't look up now,
Don't look up now,
Don't look up now,
Don't look up now,
Until it's time.
There was fire in the kitchen,
There was fire in my soul.
You might it call it something different,
But I've been burning since I was born.
I've been burning since I was born.
I've been burning since I was born.
I've been burning.
I've been burning.
Don't lookup now,
Don't look up now,
Don't look up now,
Don't look up now.
And when the voices call you home,
The screaming teapot on the stove,
And all the times you chose to hold your tongue,
Instead of let it out.
The doors are open now,
But you are home,
So you can let it out.
Don't look up now,
Don't look up now,
Don't look up now,
Don't look up now,
Until it's time.
There was a fire in the kitchen,
There was a fire in my soul,
And you might call it something different,
But I've been burning since I was born.
There was a tree outside the window,
There was a story that she told.
In one lifetime she was dying,
And in another she was born.
I wasn't wrong when I first loved you.
We had it good for just a while,
And even though the flood rains got me,
I never once let out the fire.
I never once let out the fire.
I never once let out the fire.
I never once let out the fire.
I never once let out the fire.
Don't look up now.
Don't look up now.
