Fire, inside my shoes 
Still walking forward but back to you 
I s'pose I must be stuck with you again 
This joke is wearing thin 
I know its time 
I know its time to go 

And just so you know 
This secret part of me never showed 
And when you run around like you don't care 
I'm suddenly aware 
I know its time 
I know its time 

CHORUS:
It's suddenly strange 
I can hardly complain 
I'm down the stairs 
And I'm out the door
It's suddenly colder 
It bowled me right over 
I'm down again 
I suppose its over now

Don't ask me how 
But it didn't take much to figure out 
And you know I'll go acting really tough
Giving back your stuff 
I know its time 
I know its time

CHORUS 

And you know I'll go acting really tough
And giving back your stuff 
I know its time 
I know its time 

CHORUS 

Fire inside my shoes, its over now
