[Verse 1]
I'm gathering wood
I'm cutting down trees
I'm keeping it dry like my father taught me
I'm doing fake smiles
It's inevitable
Matter of time then you're gonna leave me

[Pre-Chorus]
And I am all for preparation
I'm well aware, so I prepare for separation
I'm gathering wood, I'm cutting down trees

[Chorus]
'Cause I'ma light fires
So when you're lost you look for embers
You look for ashes
Yes, I'ma light fires
So when you're lost you just you remember
To look for matches
Every time the darkness gets too black
Evеry time you find yourself off track
Then I'ma light firеs
So you can find me
I'ma light fires
[Verse 2]
I'm gathering stones
I'm marking out lines
I'm steeling myself like my mother taught me
I know that farewell is inevitable
Matter of time then you're gonna break free

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm all for preparation
I'm well aware, so I prepare for separation
I'm gathering stones, I'm marking out lines

[Chorus]
'Cause I'ma light fires
So when you're lost you look for embers
You look for ashes
Yes I'ma light fires
So when you're lost you just you remember
To look for matches
Every time the darkness gets too black
Every time you find yourself off track
Then I'ma light fires
So you can find me
I'ma light fires

[Bridge]
I'ma light fires
I'ma light fires
I'ma light fires
[Chorus]
Every time the darkness gets too black
Every time you find yourself off track
Then I'ma light fires
So you can find me
I'ma light fires
'Cause I'ma light fires
So when you're lost you look for embers
You look for ashes
Yes, I'ma light fires
So when you're lost you just you remember
To look for matches

[Outro]
Every time the darkness gets too black
Every time you find yourself off track
Then I'ma light fires
So you can find me
I'ma light fires
