about

It's about age.

lyrics

I just don't know where to turn
The water's gone
I feel no burn

I just don't know what to do
The water's gone
And flown right through

I put my fingers through the flame
I don't know why, I feel no pain
I'm getting old I can't explain
I just can't go through this again
(repeat)

Fingers through the flame
Fingers through the flame
I put my fingers through the flame

I just know what to say
The water's gone and leached away

I just don't know what to think
The water's gone, yet still I sink

I put my fingers through the flame
I don't know why, I feel no pain
I'm getting old I can't explain
I just can't go through this again
(repeat)

Fingers through the flame
Fingers through the flame
I put my fingers through the flame
(repeat)
