Album: The Historical Conquests Of Josh Ritter (2007)

Wildfires

You must be livin' on wildfires
You must be livin' on wildfires
That's why your eyes
Are smoke and ash

You must be livin' on earthquakes
You must be livin' on earthquakes
Must be why my heart breaks
Every time you pass

Oh no matter how I try
I just watch you blow by
In a laugh

Aye . . .

You must be livin' on front lines
You must be livin' on front lines
Must be why sometimes
I can't get past

You must be livin' on land mines
You must be livin' on land mines
Must be why you're cryin'
Broken glass

Oh no matter how I try
I gotta watch you blow by
In a laugh

Oh . . . oh . . . oh . . . oh . . .

With all your livin' on land slides
With all your livin' on flood tides
It's a wonder how you rise
Above all that

Oh no matter how I try
I gotta watch you blow by
In a laugh

Oh no matter how I try
I gotta watch you blow by
