Text: Switchfoot. On Fire.
They tell you where you need to go
They tell you when you need to leave.
They tell you what you need to know
They tell you who you need to be.
But everything inside you
Knows there's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words
(chorus)
And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire when He speaks
You're on fire burning at these mysteries.
Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see.
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be near You.
When everything inside me
Looks like everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take
(chorus)
And I'm on fire when You're near me
I'm on fire when You speak
I'm on fire burning at these mysteries
I'm standing on the edge of me,
I'm standing on the edge of everything I've ever been
And I've been standing at the edge of me, standing
At the edge
They tell you when you need to leave.
They tell you what you need to know
They tell you who you need to be.
But everything inside you
Knows there's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words
(chorus)
And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire when He speaks
You're on fire burning at these mysteries.
Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see.
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be near You.
When everything inside me
Looks like everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take
(chorus)
And I'm on fire when You're near me
I'm on fire when You speak
I'm on fire burning at these mysteries
I'm standing on the edge of me,
I'm standing on the edge of everything I've ever been
And I've been standing at the edge of me, standing
At the edge
Switchfoot
