On Fire (Switchfoot)

They tell you where you need to go

They tell you when you need to leave.

They tell you what you need to know

They tell you who you need to be.



But everything inside you

knows there's more than what you've heard

There's so much more than empty conversations

filled with empty words



And you're on fire

when he's near you

You're on fire when he speaks

You're on fire burning at these mysteries

Give me one more time around

give me one more chance to see,

Give me everything you are

Give me one more chance to be near you.



When everything inside me

Looks like everything i hate

You are the hope i have for change

You are the only chance I'll take



And I'm on fire when you're near me

I'm on fire when you speak

I'm on fire burning at these mysteries.



I'm standing on the edge of me,

I'm standing at the edge of everything I've ever been

And I've been standing at the edge of me, standing

at the edge
