Lyrics Jimmy Eat World – Firefight

This is where our diligence has led
The waves roll in to claim our patient steps
Can we become more than just ourselves?
And leave the sand, our want, our will, our doubt?

It’s firefight and I, I won’t run
There’s spit and spite all through my blood
For you and me, there’s nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there’s no one else alive

This is now the moment after next
Are these still the eyes of the temptress?
Why open the door if you won’t go?
Don’t ask twice if you don’t want to know

It’s firefight and I, I won’t run
There’s spit and spite all through my blood
For you and me, there’s nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there’s no one else alive

Is there an answer?
And if it’s an honest one
Honestly worth its question
There’s no question
The city as my witness
(The city as my witness)
I am who I want to be
But you could be anything (you could be anything)
Just be anything here with me

Love is quartz and breath the secondhand
If you let go then that’s where time will stand

It’s firefight and I, I won’t run
There’s spit and spite all through my blood
For you and me, there’s nowhere left to hide

It’s firefight and I, I won’t run
There’s spit and spite all through my blood
For you and me, there’s nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there’s no one else alive
