Forestfire Lyrics - Little Songs - David Usher

What if I were you and you were me? 

Still can't see the forestfire beyond the trees 

Now I'm standing in a field of green 

The colors burning far as I can see 

What do you see? 

On my tongue, the galaxies so small 

Here, I'll drink it down and watch the world dissolve 

Now I'm pouring through the universe 

And slipping through the endless stream of time 

What would you find? 

And I'm flying, floating on the wind again 

Hoping it will drag me in 

Can't you see I'm laughing 

Laughing at the consequence 

Laughing at this circumstance 

Don't you know by now? 

Wave at all the faces, they go by 

Faster that we live, the more we die 

Now I'm crashing through the open door 

And smiling in a most peculiar way 

What would you say? 

And I'm falling faster than the waterfall 

Opened up and after all 

Can't you see, I'm drowning? 

Right here in the open air 

Wishing I could still go clear 

Don't you know by now? Don't you know by now? 

This is what we are, this is what we are 

Don't you know by now? Don't you know by now? 

This is what we are, this is what we are 

Flying, floating on the wind again 

I'm wishing that you'd drag me in 

Can't you see, I'm hoping? 

Wishing I could see myself 

Wishing I was someone else 

But don't you know by now? Don't you know by now? 

This is what we are, this is what we are 

Don't you know by now? Don't you know by now? 

This is what we are, this is what we are 

This is what we are, this is what we are 

This is what we are, this is what we are 

This is what we are, this is what we are
