Lyrics for Backdraft

Leave me here and lock the door Latch the windows, lose the key But you'll be back some day What else then is true love for If not to starve and wait for spring? So I'll just sit and wait So I'll just sit and wait Oh, swing the door wide open Show me your jaded eyes I will turn them red Drunk with vivid flame You will see again And you will learn your real name Oh, swing the door wide open Show me your jaded eyes I will turn them red Drunk with vivid flame You will see again And you will learn your real name and speak it Leave me with no air to breathe Leave me here to die alone But I won't suffocate I'll have everything I need When you forget and come back home So I'll just sit and wait I'll just sit and wait Oh, swing the door wide open Show me your jaded eyes I will turn them red Drunk with vivid flame You will see again And you will learn your real name Your whole world turns to fire Oh, swing the door wide open Show me your jaded eyes I will turn them red Drunk with vivid flame You will see again And you will learn your real name Your whole world turns to fire As your whole world turns to fire Turns to fire.
