  • This fire grows higher
    This fire grows higher
    This fire grows higher
    This fire grows higher

    When there's a burning in your heart
    An endless fury in your heart
    Build it bigger than the sun
    Let it grow, let it grow
    When there's a burning in your heart
    Don't be alarmed

    This fire grows higher

    When there's a doubt in your mind
    'Cause you think it all the time
    Framin' rights into wrongs
    Move along, move along
    When there's a doubt within your mind

    When there's a burning in your heart
    And you think it'll burst apart
    Oh, there's nothing to fear
    Save the tears, save the tears
    When there's a burning in your heart

    And if you feel just like a tourist
    In the city you were born
    Then it's time to go
    And define your destination
    With so many different places to call home
    'Cause when you find yourself a villain
    In the story you have written
    It's plain to see
    That sometimes the best intentions
    Are in need of redemption
    Would you agree?
    If so, please show me

    This fire grows higher
    This fire grows higher

    When there's a burning in your heart
    When there's a burning in your heart
    (This fire grows higher) when there's a burning in your heart
    (This fire grows higher, this fire grows higher)
    When there's a burning in your heart (this fire grows higher)
    (This fire grows higher) when there's a burning in your heart Writer/s: Benjamin Gibbard
