June Fire

[Verse 1]
Let them burn—I’ll light the candles; night has found its way inside.
I’ll put my arms around my sorrow, let it sit here by my side.
If it finds me in the darkness, I won’t ask it to explain;
I know how June can leave its fingerprints beneath the rain.

[Chorus]
Once you fall for her, you don’t just leave her in the past;
That kind of fire keeps on living, keeps on burning, burning fast.
It tears your yesterdays to pieces, pulls the present close—
And every road away from her leads where the longing goes.

[Verse 2]
How many June days came and went with nothing left to do
But wish that I could love somebody, wish that love were true?
One look, one fever, one sweet surrender, and the die is cast;
You tell yourself it’s only now—but now becomes the past.

[Bridge]
No escape from this desire, no clean cut, no goodbye;
It lives inside you, wild and restless, long after the nights go by.
The past breaks open; the present calls—
And still, I turn toward you through it all.

[Outro]
Let the candles hold their flame;
I’ll sit with sorrow, say your name.
