i take it back i was never alone my censored thoughts mild and monotone i took a train to berlin today when i called last night you felt so far away tonight i ll laugh i say whatever i want stay in the bar til the sun comes up and i see myself through my sister s eyes i m a live wire electrified sparks fly sparks fly death grip on some feigned humility effort executed beautifully my pride clenched tight in my shaky hand til i let go and buried my head in the sand or i ll go back south i ll leave it all behind see myself clearly for the first time since i met you on a foggy night a disaster dignified sparks fly sparks fly we sat in the hot summer twilight radio loud and the brim bite the coosa water is choppy and wild i jumped abruptly unreconciled float on my back watch the purple sky in the last moments of sunlight i know you don t recognize me but i m a live wire finally sparks fly sparks fly
