[Verse 1] For the wolves we fought when a child was brave Days on a Southern strand Where we'd all pretend to be touring And I'd wait all night for the smile you'd saved Or how the wind would howl Better head back now, it's a warning [Chorus] We were swimming out so far this time The sun and your eyes were the only fire Pretty intimate so far, so I lit a holy fire [Verse 2] So we all gather our ghosts around the island flames Oh, and the song she throws is not one I know But it knew me For an age long lost in time, erased Days when they called our names Stories tucked away, you tell it to me [Chorus] We were swimming out so far this time The sun and your eyes were the only fire Pretty intimate so far, so I lit a holy fire [Bridge] Take me back to places I feel loved in Maybe failing that, take me to Boston Strange that I'm not seeing you as often Wandering 'round in cities I feel lost in What if all the costs are even [Chorus] We were swimming out so far this time (Take me to Boston, Boston) The sun and your eyes were the only fire (Take me back to places I feel loved in, loved in) Pretty intimate so far, so I (Wandering 'round in cities I feel lost in, lost in) Eyes of eye-eye, eyes of, a holy fire
