Fireflower - Jeremy Messersmith

We’re gonna die, Winnipeg said casually

As we stared up through the trees

The branches bent, shivered in the winter breeze

Snowflakes fallin' on our cheeks

And we forgot all about the bitter cold

Walked till we couldn’t feel our toes

Stopped on the lake, and then she took off all her clothes

Runnin' naked in the snow

Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom

Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom

I’m such a mess, Winnipeg sadly confessed

As she stared into her beer

I talk too much, burn everything I touch

I don’t know what I’m doin' here

We dried our shoes, then we went upstairs to my room

Said she couldn’t stay for long

We met the night, cigarettes and pillow fights

When I woke up she was gone

Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom

Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom

Years were spent, never found out where she went

Just a room and now a name

Notes from Berlin, an old address in Michigan

Only embers in the wind

Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom

Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom

Fireflower, fireflower, fireflower in bloom

Fireflower, fireflower in bloom
