I'm gathering wood
I'm cutting down trees
I'm keeping it dry
like my father taught me
I'm doing fake smiles
It's inevitable
matter of time
then you're gonna leave me
And I'm all for preparation
I'm well aware
so I prepare for separation
I'm gathering wood
I'm cutting down trees
Cause I'ma light fires
So when you're lost
you look for embers
You look for ashes
Yes I'ma light fires
So when you're lost
you just remember
to look for matches
Every time the darkness gets too black
every time you find yourself off track
then I'ma light fires
so you can find me
I'ma light fires
I'm gathering stones
I'm marking out lines
I'm steeling myself
like my mother taught me
I know that farewell
is inevitable
matter of time
then you're gonna break free
And I'm all for preparation
I'm well aware
so I prepare for separation
I'm gathering stones
I'm marking out lines
Cause I'ma light fires
So when you're lost
you look for embers
You look for ashes
Yes I'ma light fires
So when you're lost
you just remember
to look for matches
Every time the darkness gets too black
every time you find yourself off track
then I'ma light fires
so you can find me
I'ma light fires
I'ma light fires
I'ma light fires
I'ma light fires
Every time the darkness gets too black
every time you find yourself off track
then I'ma light fires
so you can find me
I'ma light fires
Cause I'ma light fires
So when you're lost
you look for embers
You look for ashes
Yes I'ma light fires
So when you're lost
you just remember
to look for matches
Every time the darkness gets too black
every time you find yourself off track
then I'ma light fires
so you can find me
I'ma light fires
