about

this is a friction fire.

lyrics

Flipping coins on my I Ching app
Creepin up I-5
Thoughts flow like slow traffic
Low back like a fist, tight
I’m tired of holding on
Will I ever make a living
Writing songs?
Well, time can tell
What the mind can’t figure
It takes time and skill
To light a friction fire
This is a friction fire, babe

I flipped thunder over lake
On a blue sky day
White cloud to the north
Looked like a bird of prey
My arms are driving the car
But my soul is a picture of the stars
And the way you pray
And your graceful figure
And the patient way
You light a friction fire
This is a friction fire, babe

When I feel a little pull
Deep inside my being
Like my shirt caught on a thorn
I try to feed that feeling
It was you after the show
It was this song down the freeway
Like the ember in your palms
That you breathe into flame
And while I play guitar
You make a fire underneath the stars
Time will show
What the mind can’t picture
The way we grow...
Like a friction fire
This is a friction fire, babe
A friction fire
We’re like friction fire, babe
A friction fire
This is a friction fire
