Atlas & The Light - Home Fires

Intro

Verse 1

We were kids on the corner With our hands in the air Making plans for tomorrow Like tomorrow would care

We were chasing the skyline Through the cold and the rain Every road that divided us Brought us back here again

Pre-Chorus

Some hearts drift away Some dreams lose their name But the ones that survive Leave a mark in the flame

Chorus

We were sparks in the dark

We were names in the smoke

Now the fire's still burning

Though the old house broke

Carry me home

Carry me home

When the night gets long

And the world feels cold

Carry me home

Carry me home

Verse 2

There were years we went missing Like a song left unsung Still the echo kept calling From the place we came from

Every scar on the doorway Every crack in the wall Is a map of the people Who were here through it all

Pre-Chorus

Time can weather the wood Time can blacken the stone But it can't take the light From the fire we own

Chorus

We were sparks in the dark

We were names in the smoke

Now the fire's still burning

Though the old house broke

Carry me home

Carry me home

When the night gets long

And the world feels cold

Carry me home

Carry me home

Bridge

If these walls could talk They'd tell us not to run Every ending leaves a door Unlocked for someone

And if all we've built Falls into the dust We'll build it again From the embers of us

Chorus

We were sparks in the dark

We were names in the smoke

Now the fire's still burning

Though the old house broke

Carry me home

Carry me home

When the night gets long

And the world feels cold

Carry me home

Carry me home

Instrumental

Chorus

We were sparks in the dark

We were names in the smoke

Now the fire's still burning

Though the old house broke

Carry me home

When the night gets long

And the world feels cold

Carry me home

Carry me home
