Switchfoot - Take My Fire Lyrics






Everyday enemy try to get the best of me
The enemy under my skin
Everyday Enemy
My fatal flaw anatomy feeling like I just can't win
Sometimes I wish I didn't feel that much
Sometimes I wish I didn't need that touch
Everyday my enemy pretend to be a friend to me
No matter what state I'm in

But you're never going to take my fire
I cannot not be tamed
No you never going to take my fire
It's burning in my veins
You say the world is changing
But I still burn the same
No you never going to take my fire, take my fire

Let me burn now

The safety that you're selling me
One day be the death of me
Face like I just saw ghosts
Images on the box again
Taking up all the oxygen
Tell me how we sunk this low
Ain't it coming ain't the end in sight
To steal it back like a thief in the night
There's my own sworn enemy
Faking and pretend to be
A wolf in a sheepskin coat

But you're never going to take my fire
In spite of all your rain
No you never going to take my fire, take my fire

I'm a fighter
A soul all nighter
I'm gonna recognize the truth
Gonna recognize a liar
You're never gonna take my fire

True beginner
A loser and a winner
Part saint / part sinner
And all of me desire
You're never gonna take my fire

I'm a giver
A one arrow quiver
I've been sending my regrets
Down the river of fire
You're never gonna take my

My fire
A loose, live wire
I'm a one-shot rocket aiming higher and higher
And higher

Cause you're never gonna take my fire
Ancient flame lit the spark back before I was young
When I'm speaking with the fire it's my native tongue

No you never going to take my fire, take my fire
Let me burn now

    everyone: swithcfoot's new album doesn't have rock!


    TAKE MY FIRE: am I a joke to you?!

    S.... M....

    Just for clarification, I do think there are a lot of non-rock songs on this album, but I think with this album they have taken all of the different styles they have been over the years, and have put it all into one album. Its truly awesome!

  3. D.... A....

    Another one all the lyrics I wrote God inspired. Another example of true Christian ripping off

    [Verse 1]
    Everyday enemy tried to get the best of me
    The enemy under my skin
    Everyday enemy, my fatal flaw anatomy
    Feeling like I just can't win
    Sometimes I wish I didn’t feel that much
    Sometimes I wish I didn't need that touch, but
    Everyday my enemy pretend to be a friend to me
    No matter what state I'm in

    [Chorus]
    But you’re never going to take my fire
    I cannot be tamed
    No you're never gonna take my fire
    It's burning in my veins, hey
    You say the world is changing
    But I still burn the same
    No you're never gonna take my fire, take my fire
    Let me burn now, yeah

    [Verse 2]
    The safety that you're selling me
    One day be the death of me
    A face like you just saw ghosts
    Images on the box again
    Takin' up all the oxygen
    Tell me how we sunk this low
    Ain't it coming, ain't the end in sight?
    To steal it back like a thief in the night
    There’s my own sworn enemy
    Faking and pretend to be
    A wolf in a sheepskin coat

    [Chorus]
    But you’re never going to take my fire
    In spite of all your rain
    No you're never gonna take my fire
    It’s burning in my veins, hey
    You say the world is changing
    But I still burn the same
    No you're never gonna take my fire, take my fire, because

    [Bridge]
    I'm a fighter, a soul all-nighter
    I'ma recognize the truth, I’ma recognize a liar
    You're never gonna take my fire
    True beginner, a loser and a winner
    Part saint, part sinner, and all of me desire
    You're never gonna take my fire
    I'm a giver, a one arrow quiver
    I've been sending my regrets down the river of fire
    You're never gonna take my
    My fire, a loose, live wire
    I'm a one-shot rocket aiming higher and higher (And higher)

    [Chorus]
    'Cause you're never gonna take my fire, hey
    No, you're never gonna take my fire, oh, oh, oh, oh
    The ancient flame lit the spark back before I was young
    When I'm speaking with the fire it's my native tongue
    No you're never gonna take my fire, take my fire
    Let me burn now
