Dawes Fire Away song lyrics

This one's going out to you

As the taxi pulls away

A song to keep you company for the ride

There's something wrong with a goodbye

In the middle of the day

So pretend I am still sitting at your side

And if you want to talk about all the differences

Between the shackle and the man

Or if you've got reasons no one ever let you say

Then fire away

Fire away

This one's going out to you

On the day they let you out

For the thousand ways they ask if you're okay

Because whatever answer that you give

It's only gonna play into their doubts

And be just half of what's behind each word you say

So if you finally roped that heartbreak song

That the experts never could

Or if you just wanted someone to listen to you play

Then fire away

Fire away

Fire away

This one's going out to you

If you ever start to slip and you learn

To read between these lines you've drawn

When what is wrong and what is right

Seem more like just the ocean and the ship

And the straight line that you've followed here is gone

And if that same old fox comes and sweeps you up

Each time you spread your wings

I could at least love you through each stumble, shift and sway

So fire away

Fire away

Fire away

When you need someone to walk away from

When you need someone to let you in

(Through each stumble, shift and sway)
