Flame I Should Fear

We understand each other 

This moth and me 

We've each got our vices 

Ilogically 

I'm lighting a lamp, 

I'm drawing it near 

Letting it flicker and fly 

To a flame it should fear 

You lower the lamp 

When I come by 

So you are the brightest thing 

Catching my eye 

My will to protest 

Only mimics my veer 

Towards the heat of your fire 

The flame I should fear 

I know I'll be weeping 

I know I should hide 

But I'm so sick of sleeping 

And my bed is so wide 

I cannot control 

My fascination 

With the beautiful danger 

Of the situation 

I tango too close 

I'm calling you dear 

Chancing a fiery dance 

With a flame I should fear 

Firefly flicker flame lighter match 

Firefly flicker flame lighter match 

Firefly flicker flame lighter match 

Flame I should fear
