lyrics

Caught in a bottle Starting a fire At the edge of the world
Same old bottle Same old flame Just strung out on a different girl
You know the wind is still blowing My heart and soul wide open
The waters still rising And so many words are still left unspoken

I’m burning photographs Trying to forget
All those sad sad songs That you had in your head
I wish there was something left To hold on to
I’m burning photographs And they’re all of you

You know my life is in a way
That keeps me running around and around and around
Around the world with a six-string hammer
Trying to gain a little ground

I’m blinded by the moment
Yet it’s plain to see I’ll never get back
I know somehow you’ll always keep yourself
Fallen though the cracks

I’m burning photographs Trying to forget
All those sad sad songs That you put in my head
I wish there was something left To hold on to
I’m burning photographs And they’re all of you
