Snowflakes in Fire Lyrics

In the neon haze, all the regulars gaze at her dancing there

They don't know her real name, they don't feel her pain, but they love to stare

When she takes a break, she sits outside and shakes flakes of snow from her hair

Like snowflakes in fire, the minutes melt away

She wants to rescue the hours before they hit the flames

Like snowflakes and fire

She goes home alone, she unplugs her phone and puts a pen to her page

The paper takes it all in, the abuse and the sin, the remorse and the rage

She seals it with a teardrop, puts it in a pine box and drives upstate in the rain

Like snowflakes in fire, the minutes melt away

She wants to rescue the hours before they hit the flames

Like snowflakes and fire

Hold her like a ghost through the frozen rain

Tangled in her hair, she's calling you again

Pull her far from here, deep into your heat

Let her touch the holes in your hands and feet

See the thin smoke rise to the frozen sky, smell the burning pine

She's sitting there below, watching flakes of snow melt in the firelight

She thinks of long ago, a past so bitter cold, and she says goodbye

Like snowflakes in fire, the minutes melt away

She wants to rescue the hours before they hit the flames

Like snowflakes and fire
