Arcata Fire Lyrics

Take my hand, shaking like Achilles' heel

Understand I haven't had a chance to feel

Training every bone to bend only to break again

Well, even castles in the sky eventually return to sand

Kissing the edge of hysteria brings me back to life

And learning to love the end of the night, I cry

Could it really be so easy?

Could it really be this bright?

Oh no, here it comes, the will to burn this building down

Hades' son never ceases to astound

Casting off this rotten cowl in the hurricane

I see it strike me clear as day, a ticket for the bullet train

The answer I've been looking for has been here all along

Where I am is where I belong

Could it really be so easy?

Could it really be?

The forest burns in Arcata and I'm told to leave

But officer, this song has been stuck in my head since birth

Catch me if you can, I'll never be this way again

Guided by the voices, can you hear them?

Cutting through the fog, a silhouette lit by the fire

You'll see it soon enough

So take it if you can, you'll never get this shot again

Your heart won't steer you wrong

Take it if you can, you'll never get this shot again

Your heart won't steer you wrong

Take it if you can, you'll never get this shot again

Your heart won't steer you wrong

Take it in your hands, you'll never have this life again

Your heart won't steer you wrong
