Lighter Torches - Teeling Lyrics

I'm here to light a light to words I've never said
While carnival and fireworks still keep me out of bed
To the goal posts that I still fail to put firmly in the ground
While I blow into the sky to keep the sun from burning out

But I guess that's how it goes
And how the world gets by
I call a spade a spade
To fertilize

But my horny mind is prone to oversight
Lassie's said the barn's on fire
I'm a wet bird on a wire
I call my life mine but after all this time
I can't stand up to the dreams I ought to

Here's to the phrases I was brave enough to say
Fighting flight and keeping temperament at bay
I'm taking heart and pride: The fuel's not spent
I'm neither out of time nor hands to lend

And I guess that I'll be fine
With a front door to call home
With cuddles, airs, and beer
And one more song

But my horny mind is prone to oversight
Lassie's said the barn's on fire
I'm a wet bird on a wire
I call my life mine but after all this time
I can't stand up to the dreams I ought to

Hi! Hey! I got quiet things to say
I gave myself a little time
Splay life's stakes slightly to the front
To push events along

But my horny mind is prone to oversight
Lassie's said the barn's on fire
I'm a wet bird on a wire
I call my life mine but after all this time
I can't stand up to the dreams I ought to

Take some time off and work things out and...

Say Good-Bye in due time
It's a testament to will...
