Hard to come all this way now
For you to show me the way out
Is there really nothing left for us to save
Bought my ticket to ride up
The back seat of a Honda
Wrote down every word I felt I had to say
Can I hold you
By the bonfire
Let the smoke rise
We’ve got all night
Don’t we? Don’t we?
Who’s the guy with the blond hair
Stares at me like I’m nowhere
Maybe I’m just a small town boy but who the fuck is he?
Someone get me a bottle
A quick toke from the hot box
Let me blow my mind away just let me be
You’re an angel
By the bonfire
When the smoke rises
You’ll be all mine
Who’s he? Who’s he?
Am I just the boy who you brought from home?
Cut me right to the bone
Tell me to leave you alone
And I’ll go (home)
Guess I’ll be on my way out
Your homeboy from the old town
What’s left of the fire will just have to stay here and burn
Hope he’s all you wanted
I’m going back to be haunted
Hope you sleep at night I hope you toss and turn
See you dancing
By the bonfire
In a smoke ring
You want everything
But me but me
Am I just the boy who you brought from home
Cut me right to the bone
Tell me to leave you alone
Tell me to leave you alone
And I’m gone (home)
I’m gone (home)
I’m gone (home)
