I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothin' to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feelin' the same way
I ain't nothin' but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Messages keeps gettin' clearer
Radio's on and I'm movin' 'round my place
I check my look in the mirror
Wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't gettin' nowhere
I'm just livin' in a dump like this
There's somethin' happenin' somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is

You can't start a fire...

You sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carvin' you up alright
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby, I'm just about starvin' tonight
I'm dyin' for some action
I'm sick of sittin' 'round here tryin' to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look

You can't start a fire
Sittin' 'round cryin' over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire
Worryin' about your little world fallin' apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Sorry I am late to the party. Had to finish up a big project ahead of the rain and had 0 downtime. Ive been looking forward to getting time to hear this one. Crushed it as usual. One of my best friends is from Sweden. He and his father were in love with The Boss. To them he was America. When his father passed suddenly a few years back and they played this track at his funeral. Its crazy to me that some guy from NJ can make something so impactful worldwide. I think the world needed his music. This one fits your voice really well. Love it.
