Next Best Thing

Lyrics

 

Fire of Today

Words and Music by: Chris Ayers and Todd Bauerle

How could you be so cold to turn your head,

After knowing what you just did.

Looking back at the overpass,

You’d see you spilt your own blood.

 

     And I say stay ‘cuz I feel it . . .

     And I say stay ‘cuz I know it.

 

How is it you can go on your way,

After causing the ‘Fire of Today.’

Looking back at what now lies in pieces,

Do you still think that you’ve won?

 

     And I say stay ‘cuz I know it . . .

     And I say stay ‘cuz I planned it . . .

     I say be on your way.

 

Would you rather be there instead,

Or do you want what lies ahead.

I hope you know your choices are few,

Either way you leave your own world.

 

     You say stay ‘cuz you feel it . . .

     I say go ‘cuz you stole it . . .

     He says be on your way.

 

Would you rather be there instead,

Or do you want what lies ahead?

Would you rather be there instead,

Or do you know what’s in his head?
