Well you run, run, run
You run but you can only run so far
And then you hide, hide, hide
You go and hide but you can't hide from yourself
And so you fake, fake, fake, fake it
Until every time you look into the mirror
You just wanna break it
I hope you sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep tonight
Cause your dreams you own 'em still!
And the world keeps turning, world keeps turning
And every day I'm learning, everyday I'm learning
The problem with starting fires
You got to keep 'em burning!
And now you earn, earn, earn, you go out and earn
Go on child you can earn very fast
And then you burn, burn, burn, you burn
You burn it all and tell the others that you learned
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna wait
Cause the weight of my waiting now I'm gunna be late
Just gotta to try, try, try
Try to find happiness
If I really find happiness
Than I really must know pain
And the world keeps turning, world keeps turning
And every day I'm learning, everyday I'm learning
The problem with starting fires
You got to keep 'em
You got to keep 'em
You got to keep 'em
You got to keep 'em burning
And the world keeps turning, world keeps turning
And every day I'm learning everyday I'm learning
The problem with starting fires
The problem with starting fires
You got to keep 'em
You got to keep 'em
You got to keep 'em burning
