Closer to the Fire by MECHLENBURG Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When it’s cold outside
I remember my black coat
Secret stars collide
In my pocket one blue note
When it’s cold outside
And the moon is hanging low
On a frozen time
I see cracks begin to show

[Chorus 1]
Now doubt is only double
Cause yesterday was trouble
As deep as my desire
Moving closer to the fire

[Verse 2]
When it’s cold outside
Count my footprints in the snow
Two things left to hide
Keep your candles in the room
When it’s cold outside
Candle quick and find the flames
Till we do decide
Winter winds will call our names
[Chorus 2]
That year of chilly sorrows
Could make all bleak tomorrows
As dark as my desire
Moving closer to the fire
Closer to the fire
Is it passion or a funeral pyre?
Closer to the fire
Are we sinking or hovering higher?
Closer to the fire

[Chorus 3]
A life of frost frustrations
Has led to warm temptations
As dear as my desire
Moving closer to the fire

[Verse 3]
When it’s cold outside
Thirteen footsteps in the snow
Two things left to hide
Seven candles in a row
When it’s cold outside
Button up my black wool coat
Secret stars collide
In my pocket one blue note
