A Fire That Isn’t There

lead vocal: Rob

So it seems that there was something happening from the very start

That first glance sparked our strange platonic romance

You think you have inner walls, but mine are tearing us apart

Yet, I feel maybe this thing could be so real

Oh, but your world is so far away, and our passion is not in play

Still, we have so much to say

My heart’s so polluted, everything’s so convoluted

People always say that thing about how you’ll know when it’s right

Well, that’s nice, but I could use more solid advice

Maybe we’ll be one by day but then take separate lovers in the night

And maybe I could even call you “baby”

Oh, but we’ve got to find a way

To believe it’s all okay

It’s a blinding shade of gray

My libido’s sleeping, but my heart is truly leaping

Don’t you see how this story ends?

Close the book and show your golden hair

Love is stronger between good friends

I can’t stoke a fire that isn’t there

Would it be enough if I could only love you from my heart?

My true love, I’m inventing a brand new love

Pretty soon we’ll know our destiny—a course we cannot chart

And meanwhile you are always making me smile

Even if I don’t know the name

Of our love, and if love’s a game

Then we’ll cheat without any shame

Once I was so gloomy, now there’s something happening to me

My heart is turning upside down

The fire isn’t there, but smoke is all around

Am I a fool, or am I strong?

I wonder if it’s right, and then I’m sure that it’s all wrong

I wonder...where do we belong?
