I take it back, I was never alone My censored thoughts, mild and monotone I took a train to Berlin today When I called last night you felt so far away Tonight I'll laugh, I say whatever I want Stay in the bar 'til the sun comes up And I see myself through my sister's eyes I'm raw like wire, electrified Sparks fly, sparks fly Death grip on some feigned humility Effort executed beautifully My pride clenched tight in my shaky hand 'Til I let go and bury my head in the sand Or I'll go back south, I'll leave it all behind See myself clearly for the first time Since I met you on a foggy night A disaster, dignified Sparks fly, sparks fly We sat in the hot summer twilight Radio loud and the brim bite The Coosa water is choppy and wild I jumped abruptly, unreconciled Float on my back, watch the purple sky In the last moments of sunlight I know you don't recognize me But I'm a live wire, finally Sparks fly, sparks fly Sparks fly, sparks fly Sparks fly, sparks fly Sparks fly, sparks fly
