To Start A Fire Lyrics - Five Iron Frenzy

My old friend 

Need only speak your name 

To summon a smile 

I knew you when we had so much more in common 

It's been a while 

Winter was cold the autumn was dire 

Love has no meaning 

Without desire 

If we're gonna make it 

We've got to set ourselves on fire 

Something to believe in 

To only be inspired 

To torch it all to cinders to only build a fire 

My old friend 

We used to sharpen our blades on each other 

For the fight we used to plead 

With the f lame to ever only 

Stay alight 

Our backs are breaking 

Beneath the weight 

Some albatrosses 

Some Aces and Eights 

Our hearts are freezing beneath 

Their tempered iron plates.
