This song is a metaphor for my own passion for music and songwriting.
lyrics
It started out as a burning desire
And turned in to starting a fire
And now it's too late to run away
I wrote a song when I was sixteen
I put a match to a can of gasoline, metaphorically
I want to know what it's like out there
I want to know why the world is so unfair
No one cares
It started out as a burning desire
And turned into starting a fire
And now it's too late to run away
Now it's too late to run away
These days have somehow changed
I feel like a fire in the rain
like there's gasoline in my brain
So I just think I'll stay
But something makes me want to run away
And I tried so hard to change
It started out as a burning desire
And turned into starting a fire
and now it's too late to run away
I just want to say I'm sorry
I never meant to hurt anybody
And now it's too late to run away
