Endless Flame Lyrics

I'm a kite tangled in the wires, too high to feel your touch

You were the ground beneath my feet, but I let it slip too much

I'm a sailor lost at sea, but your lighthouse never fades

I left thinking I'd be free, but now I'm caught in these waves

The best leaps I ever made were falling for you, falling hard

But I gave my heart to shadows, left it buried in the dark

I wish I didn't wear these chains, forged by my own doubts

But you're the song that never leaves, the one I can't tune out

I miss you like a cigarette I never should've lit

You're the flame that keeps on burning, but I can't take a hit

I'm reaching for you in the night, but the distance won't give way

My love for you is endless, but I'm stuck in yesterday

I'm a painter with no canvas, all my colors fading fast

You were the art that lit the room, but I didn't make it last

I'm a pilot in a storm, your sky is out of sight

But every star that guides me home spells your name in light

The best leaps I ever made were falling for you, falling hard

But I gave my heart to shadows, left it buried in the dark

I wish I didn't wear these chains, forged by my own doubts

But you're the song that never leaves, the one I can't tune out

I miss you like a cigarette I never should've lit

You're the flame that keeps on burning, but I can't take a hit

I'm reaching for you in the night, but the distance won't give way

My love for you is endless, but I'm stuck in yesterday

Every beat of my heart is a note I can't play

A melody waiting for you to come my way

But I'm lost in the echo of words left unsaid

Caught in the space between hope and regret

I miss you like a cigarette I never should've lit

You're the flame that keeps on burning, but I can't take a hit

I'm reaching for you in the night, but the distance won't give way

My love for you is endless, but I'm stuck in yesterday

I'm a ship without a sail, drifting without you

But my love's the only compass that's pulling me through

I wish I didn't feel like I was in your way

'Cause my heart's still yours, it'll never sway
