Frost and Fire

You take the name of a man you hardly know

and then you grow up and that name has to go

married with kids and they don't want to know

about the dreams you had let go

You're still waiting for a knight in shining armour

to steal you against your will

and while you're waiting and doing no harm

you know there's plenty of time to kill

when you say you wouldn't change a day

makes me wonder where I went astray

satisfied with things that leave me tired we're as unlike as Frost and Fire

And now yourself you start to see in me

pictures of things you could've been

torches I find I am bearing for you

when you know you could've carried them too

we give up so easily what little they leave us to lose

and if I didn't have the fire to struggle

I could freeze your shoes

when you say you wouldn't change a day

makes me wonder where I went astray

satisfied with things that leave me tired

We're as unlike as Frost and Fire
