[Verse 1]
Okay I know it's been a minute since we come along
The old house you were livin' in is now a synagogue
Opa, the hardest part of growin' is the lack of a choice (Yeah)
I rolled past that old bowling alley but now it's a Vons
Rolled past the O'Malley house and the family is gone
It's cold now but I'm highly evolved
So I don't feel the cold in the car
I stopped two blocks from the high school lot
On the corner every mornin' where Denae got dropped
Pretty broad, mama caught up on the PTA
Sneaker off, ditch your class and go to CPK
But it's A, okay
Still a markin' from the tires, where my old car crashed
Metal, glass, burnin' rubber on my old car dashed
My boy sleep in the back, God damn it another panic from your blow hard dad
Fuck around in the back of a Jeep
Run amok in the street
Follow wakin' in the passenger seat, all aboard
That ship don't sail like it did anymore so

[Chorus]
We're goin' back to the fire side
It's been a long time but we're alright
We're goin' back to the fire side
It's been a long time but we're alright
[Verse 2]
Well it's been so long and you're still so neat
Hair still shinin' and you smell so clean
Romance those days when you passed back
Looks to me on horn-rimmed shades in advanced class books
Walked my way in a plaid green skirt
Hide that stain on my band t-shirt
My friends all laughed when you grabbed my hand
Had young love and I lost that chance
Man, oh man, how the years slipped by me?
Hop off the page with the devil behind me, oh
Good fuckin' work
Another ten years at the tip of the iceberg

[Chorus]
We're goin' back to the fire side
It's been a long time but we're alright
We're goin' back to the fire side
It's been a long time but we're alright

[Verse 3]
Okay I know it's been a minute since we come along
The old house you were livin' in is now a cinema
I'm not growin' by decision or lack of a choice, yeah
But I remember the smoke blaze and aimin' the stars
Still remember the drunk fights that gave me the scars, all aboard
That ship don't sail like it did anymore so
[Chorus]
We're goin' back to the fire side
It's been a long time but we're alright
We're goin' back to the fire side
It's been a long time but we're alright

[Outro]
Just say
We might be better off for all those
Bruises and the scars
The times we missed the mark
That made me feel
We're goin' back to the fire side
It's been a long time but we're alright
