I was wondering, could my attention, my adoration
Make your wild heart burn brighter?
I’d gather wood
I’d split kindling with bare hands
Hunt and carry ‘till my skin cracks and bleeds
I’d use up all the breath in my tender pink lungs
Just to see
Static
Makes you forget that you’re alive
To be noticed
Would it stoke the fire?
We’re in a time when darkness has fallen
I see gray men wandering hopeless and numb
A world bereft of belief
We need your light young one
Yeah, look at you, so bright; dreaming a better dream
Knowing that there’s so much more than meets the eye
But the hum-drum-slum of the tick-tock-day-to-day
Hooked your attention, called you down from your flight
Static . . .
They took us for granted
When it was only just a loan
Now our skin is calloused
And we don’t remember home
I can’t offer much
I can’t share your dream or wake you from your sleep
But I could jostle your attention
Tell you you’re pretty, awe-fully
This sturdy old steady life
Needs lovers who refuse to tire
Of noticing every shining star
And stoking every fire
Static . . .
I wanna stoke the fire
Let me stoke the fire
I wanna stoke every fire
