Verse 1:
I can't keep this to myself, no matter how I try
I can't turn around now, let it fall down, let me live my life
I can't put it on a shelf, and i can't hold it inside
If I open up now, let it pour out, let my veins go wide
Pre Chorus:
I know that timing isn't a coincidence, and I'm glad I washed my hands of this,
You always said I should be looking for a reason...well I guess I just found mine, guess i just found mine
Chorus:
I know that timing isn't a coincidence, and I'm so damn glad that I finally washed my hands of this,
Verse 2:
My heart is not for sale, so you can run along,
I thought that I could run from the truth, but the truth was that I was wrong,
This ain't a fairytale, this ain't your favourite song,
this is me trynna make my way in the world and right all the things I've wronged, all the things I've wronged
(pre chorus)
chorus:
I'm starting a fire in my life, I'm starting a fire, let it burn within me
I know that timing isn't a coincidence, and I'm so damn glad that I finally washed my hands of this,
Bridge:
Let me paint a picture: bleak mid-winter, my friends and I, in Montreal.
We could see the veins of the city stretch out like a forest,
and in that quiet vigil, my life changed a little, something shifted deep
and i'm on fire
(Chorus)
(outro)
