when i said i wanted to set the world on fire this isn't what i meant

last night late at night driving home the grass by the road was burning
bright orange and dry and I just kept going without turning
the future is always a surprise until it isn't
I was a child full of promise then I grew up and just kept growing
we were all children full of promise and flavor ices with our lips dyed purple
standing gaping on the edge of every last minute
