Written and performed by Off Island Ghost
Lyrics by Amir Hamizadeh

lyrics

What sort of dreams did you swallow with your pride that day
Did you ever think you'd leave me with a cleaner slate
Water colors swirl around us in a thieving daze
You are, you are
No I promised that I wouldn't say it

Pulling broken inspiration out of masquerades
When you spend life living from the faster lane
Wildfires burn inside of every last embrace
And you are, you are
No I promised that I wouldn't say

Oh, oh, oh
A wildfire heart
Oh, oh, oh,
A wildfire heart, a wildfire heart
Leave it up to me to believe you were innocent
Never trust a single word you ever said
Oh, a wildfire heart, heart

It's been a long time coming, if you paraphrase
We left a mark on redefining runaways
And took a long hard look at leaving yesterday
As it was, it was
No, I promised that I wouldn't change a thing
No, I wouldn’t change a thing

But I guess what matters now is what we did and how we lived
And how we built a reigning empire out of corresponding kids
If an opposite attracts the way I understand it is
It's all or more, in our civil war of love and chords

Leave it up to me
Give me what you need
Leave it up to me
Give me what you need
