"Fire" lyrics
"Fire"
That's what I wanted
It's not as if we cry a river, call it rain
West Memphis is on fire in the light of day
Give me something, it ain't enough
It ain't enough
I take it for granted
If I could love you unconditionally
I could iron out the edges of the darkest sky
For some of us it ain't enough
It ain't enough
And I take off driving
Past places been tainted
I put on a good show for you
And when I turn back around
Will you drain me back out
Will you let me believe that I broke through?
Tomorrow could feel like a hundred years later
I'm wiser and slow and attuned
And I am down on my knees
I'm a bird in the trees
I can learn to see with a partial view
I can learn to be easy as I move in close to you
And that's what I wanted
It's not as if we cry a river, call it rain
West Memphis is on fire in the light of day
Give me something, it ain't enough
It ain't enough
I take it for granted
If I could love you unconditionally
I could iron out the edges of the darkest sky
For some of us it ain't enough
It ain't enough

"Fire" is the first single from Waxahatchee's studio album "Saint Cloud". The song was premiered on January 22, 2020, accompanied by a
music video. Katie Crutchfield co-directed the visuals with Andreina Byrne.
Katie Crutchfield said about this song, "If I can accept that I only have a partial view of the universe, and that I can't know everything or control much of anything, then I can breathe a little easier, take better care of myself, and be closer to my own truth."
The meaning of "Fire", according to Katie Crutchfield, is "about the internal dialogue of shame surrounding mistakes you've made in the past and how we spiral and beat ourselves up when we slip".
