lyrics

Moth to the Flame

Verse
Warm days and endless nights a perfect memory
I long to go back and live that reverie
Fire-lies that burn too hot; too delicate to touch
Day to day things never seem to change

Chorus
I was lost; in the light
I was drawn to you; like a Moth to the Flame
There’s a cost; to be right
There’s a game that I can show you how to play
Like a Moth to the Flame, we’’ll burn bright

Verse
Words that you said to me Are etched upon my mind
No matter how much time goes by; they don’t fade
(but) Day by day the falling leaves gather on the ground
Say you’ve found a way to the other side

Chorus
I was lost; in the light
I was drawn to you; like a Moth to the Flame
There’s a cost; to be right
There’s a reason why we never win the game
We’re caught up in the pain and go round and round

Bridge

Verse
A butterfly’s return to flight; a metaphor for change
but seasons fade and never know your name

Chorus
I was lost; in the light
I was drawn to you; like a Moth to the Flame
There’s a cost; to be right
There’s a reason why we never end the game
We’re addicted to the pain
