I take it back, I was never alone
My censored thoughts, mild and monotone
I took a train to Berlin today
When I called last night you felt so far away
Tonight I'll laugh, I say whatever I want
Stay in the bar til the sun comes up
And I see myself through my sister's eyes
I'm raw like wire, electrified
Sparks fly, sparks fly
Death grip on some feigned humility
Effort executed beautifully
My pride clenched tight in my shaky hand
Til I let go and buried my head in the sand
Or I'll go back south, I'll leave it all behind
See myself clearly for the first time
Since I met you on a foggy night
A disaster, dignified
Sparks fly, sparks fly
We sat in the hot summer twilight
Radio loud and the brim bite
The Coosa water is choppy and wild
I jumped abruptly, unreconciled
Float on my back, watch the purple sky
In the last moments of sunlight
I know you don't recognize me
But I'm a live wire, finally
Sparks fly, sparks fly
